The line chart illustrates the percentage of visitors to four places in Scotland including Aquarium, Castle,

Zoo and Festival over a period of 30 years. It is clear that while the percentage of tourists visiting Castle
and Zoo increased, the opposite was true for Aquarium and Festival over the period. It is also notable
that Castle was the most popular tourist attraction in Scotland for most of the period. In 1980, the
percentage of tourists who chose to visit Castle was nearly 25%, which was significantly higher than the
figure for Zoo, at only 10%. Over the following 20 years, the percentage of Castle visitors increased
dramatically to reach a peak of about 45% in 1995, followed by a considerable drop to just over 30% in
2010. By contrast, despite some minor fluctuations around 10 to 15% during the first 20 years, the figure
for Zoo then significantly increased to 20% in the last year. Looking at the other attractions, Festival was
the most attractive place in Scotland in 1980 with 30% of Scotland tourists choosing this, compared with
20% for Aquarium. Over the next 5 years, the percentage of travellers paying a visit to Aquarium
reached a peak of nearly 35% in 1985 before decreasing back to 20% five years later. Since then, this
figure continued to fall significantly to just under 10% in 2010. Meanwhile, the percentage of Festival
visitors experienced a gradual decrease throughout the period, ending at roughly 25% at the end of the
period
