The given table compares the changes in the number of international travelers in different 
regions, in the years 1990, 1995, 2000 and 2005. It is clear that the total number of 
international travelers increased in the given 15 year period. However, the increase was the 
most marked from 1990 to 1995.
According to the statistics, Europeans like traveling abroad the most, with the highest figure 
of around 280 million in 1995 and reached an all time high of nearly 400 million in the year 
2005. By contrast, the Middle East had the least number of people travelling abroad, which 
grew from 9.8 million in 1995 to 15.8 million in 2005. Africa and Asia and the Pacific 
experienced a similar increasing trend of international tourists from 1990 to 2005.
In America, people showed a great willingness to travel abroad between 1990 and 1995, from 
80.5 to 112.5 million. Then, the number stayed more or less at the same level till 2005. 
Likewise, Europe also experienced a very significant increase from 1990 to 1995, in the 
overseas travel population, but after 1995 there was an increase of only 10 million.
Overall, Europe contributed the most in overseas travel, whereas the Middle East had the 
least share of overseas travelers.
