TASK 1 (TABLE): UK VISITORS TO SPAIN
The table illustrates the percentage of age of visitors from the UK to Spain in 1981 and in 2015.
 |
Sample answer
The provided table displays the proportions of visitors from the UK to Spain between 1981 and 2015, categorised according to five distinct age groups.
Overall, the share of UK visitors to Spain declined among middle-aged adults between 25 and 45 years old, while the opposite trend was seen in other age demographics, which exhibited increases. Notably, 16-24 individuals demonstrated the most significant rise despite having the lowest figure in 1981, and adults aged 25 to 35 maintained their dominance regardless of a decline. Additionally, the figure for the oldest age group had risen to surpass that of those 36-45, occupying the second position in 2015.
Regarding the leaders in the former year, which also registered downward trends, half of 25-35 UK adults (precisely 50%) travelled to Spain, making it the cohort with the highest recorded percentage in the table, a figure more than double that of 36-45 individuals, at 22%. By 2015, the share of the younger age bracket had decreased by nearly 20%, continuing to maintain its leadership position. The older group saw a nearly 50% drop to 12%, descending to the fourth position by the end of the period.
Turning to the remaining age groups, elderly people over 55 years old followed closely, standing at 16%, which, by 2015, had ascended in rank, amounting to a quarter (25%), nearly a 10% increase. People aged 0-15 and 16-24, on the other hand, accounted for lower percentages at 10% and 4%, respectively. By the end of the timeline, though both had registered increases, the figure for the former rose modestly by 2% while that of the latter nearly quadrupled to 15%. These increases had elevated the 16-24 to the third position whereas 0-15 children shared the same ranking as 36-45 adults.
