Example 3
The table presents results of 
a 
survey conducted for a sample of 100,000 people 
regarding the purpose of travel among those who visited a foreign 
country
between 
1994 and 1998. The bar graphs depicts the numbers of people who visited Western 
Europe, North America and other areas during the same period. Overall, people most 
frequently travelled abroad for their holiday, the most preferred destination was 
Western Europe, and the number of people who travelled abroad has steadily 
increased over the period. 
The most significant aspect of this report is that the number of people travelling 
abroad has constantly increased between 1994 and 1998, driven by people who 
travelled for their holiday. In 1994, a total of 22,072 people visited a foreign count
ry
, 
of which approximately 70% (15,246) travelled to enjoy their holiday. This 
percentage remained steady throughout the period, while a total number of people 
travelling abroad has increased by 30% during the period; in 1998, 28,828 people 
travelled abroad, of which about 70% (20,700) people travelled for their holiday. 
Another interesting point is that the most preferred destination for those who 
travelled abroad was Western Europe with a big gap against the second preferred 
destination, Other Areas. In 1994 approximately 90% (19,000) people went to 
Western Europe. This figure remained the same in 1998; among 28,828 people who 
travelled abroad, about 85% of them (24,500) visited Western Europe.
