Q. The table chart describes the changes of people who went for international travel in 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005(million).
Answer:
The given table depicts, in millions, details of international travellers from 5 different regions, for 5 years - 1990, 1995, 2000 and 2005.
It is clear that the total number of people travelling overseas increased over the 15-year period although the increase was more significant in the first 5 years.
The data reveals that Europeans, at 280.2 million, constituted more than half of the total travellers which was 448.2 million in 1990. Thereafter, there was a dramatic surge in European travellers to reach 390.3 million in 1995. Subsequently, the increase was only marginal to touch 400.2 million in 2005. Conversely, the Middle East had the least number of overseas travellers, viz., 9.8 million in 1990 which rose gradually to 15.8 million in 2005.
Although America occupied the second place with 80.5 million travellers in 1990, in 2005, Asia and the Pacific region surged ahead to occupy the second spot with 135.8 million international travellers. Africa, in comparison, with 18.2 million travellers in 1990, which gradually increased to 28.7 million in 2005, performed better than the Middle East with respect to the number of international travellers.
