Visitors to Australia overseas residents

                These two line graphs and table information show the number of annual visits to Australia by overseas residents and the country of origin where the visitors came from. In this report I will analyze the important trends.

            Starting with the line graph, the number of visits to Australia by overseas residents dramatically increased during the period 1975-2005. In 1975 10 million visitors visited Australia, 1.5 million in 1985, 24 million in 1995 and 32 million in 2005.

            Turning to the table information, it shows that in 1975 the Japanese were the most visitors to Australia which was 3.2 million and Chinese were the fewest visitors. Korean were the second then European then British then American. The same order was in 2005 but with more visitors from each region, 12 million from Japan, 9.1 from South Korea, 4.5 million European, 2.9 British and 1.1 & 0.8 million from the USA & China.

            In conclusion, we can see that the visits to Australia by overseas residents dramatically increased during the period 1975 to 2005 and the Japanese were the most visitors and I think the reason behind that is the relative distance.
