Predicted band5.5Given are two charts providing a comparison of Japanese tourists travelling abroad between 1985 and 1995, as well as the certain percentages of Japanese tourist visiting Australia. It can be inferred from the illustration that the number of Japanese tourists travelling abroad climbed steadily from 5 millions people in 1985 to approximately 11 millions in 1990. But in 1991, the Japanese travellers decrease steadily to 10.5 millions. Before soaring to a staggering 15 millions in 1995, the number of travellers remained stable between 1992 and 1994 with 13 million travellers. It is also interesting to note that only 2 percent out of 5 million travellers in 1985 went to Australia. The percentages of the Japanese tourists in Australi went up steadily to 5 percent from 9.5 million in 1989. However, in 1990, the percentages slipped to approximately 4.2 percent. By far the highest percentages of Japanese visited Australia in 1994 with 6.2 percent from 13.5 million people, by contrast in last year, the percentages dropped steadily to 6 percent out of 15 million travellers.Predicted band5.5The graphs describe the number of tourists from Japan who visited different countries and the proportion of Japanese visitors visiting Australia in one decade. As can be seen vividly, the number of tourists, both total and in percentage, visiting Australia increased significantly throughout the decade. Starting from 1985, the number of Japanese tourists tripled from 5 millions to mostly 15 millions in 1995. However, the static increase stopped from 1990 to 1991 with a slight fall by approximately 200,000 visitors. Apart from that, the improvement of travellers travelling to Australia occurs with a small decrease from 1998 to 1990. It is also unique that in 1989 and 1991 the percentage stood at the same level, 5% of the total. Furthermore, Japanese visitors to Australia reached a peak in 1994 as much as 6.2% of total tourists. In addition, from 1994 to 1995, the number of tourists reached a peak but the percentage of Japanese tourists travelling to Australia had a steady decrease.Predicted band5.5The supplied graphs compare the number of Japanese tourists who travelled different countries from 1985 to 1995 and it also give data on Australia's portion of the Japanese visitors. According to the first bar graph, the number of Japanese tourists visited abroad had increased in each year except for 1991. Initially, in 1985, around 5 million tourists from Japan travelled abroad and after a decade this number more than trebled. About 2 million Japanese tourists went to Australia in 1985. From 1985 till 1988, the number of Japanese tourists in Australia increased sharply. Beginning from 2 million tourists in 1985, it reached to around 5 million in 1988. In 1989, the number fell slightly but from 90 to 94, the number went up. However, in 1994 the number of people who went to Australia decreased a bit. The two graphs represent the steady increase of total Japanese tourists travelling different countries as well as the number of tourists visiting Australia in Particular.
