The line graph illustrates the number of overseas visitors to three distinct areas — the coast, mountains, and lakes — in a European country over a twenty-year period from 1987 to 2007.

Overall, the coast attracted the highest number of visitors for the majority of the period, although the lakes experienced a dramatic surge in popularity around 2002 before declining. The mountains consistently received the fewest visitors throughout the entire timeframe.

In 1987, the coastal area welcomed approximately 40 thousand overseas visitors, making it the most popular destination. The mountains received roughly 20 thousand visitors, while the lakes attracted the fewest at around 10 thousand. Over the following decade, visitor numbers to the coast dipped slightly before recovering, whereas the number of tourists travelling to the lakes began a steady upward trajectory.

By 2002, visitor numbers to the lakes had risen sharply to approximately 75 thousand, temporarily surpassing the coast, which received around 50 thousand visitors at that point. This represented a remarkable sevenfold increase for the lakes over fifteen years. However, this trend reversed in the subsequent five years: by 2007, the coast had reasserted its dominance with roughly 85 thousand visitors, while the lakes declined to approximately 50 thousand.

Throughout the entire period, the mountains showed only modest growth, rising gradually from 20 thousand to just over 30 thousand visitors. In summary, while the coast and lakes exhibited considerable volatility, the mountain area maintained a relatively stable, albeit lower, level of tourism.
