The graph below shows the number of overseas visitors to three different areas of a European country between 1987 and 2007.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The line graph illustrates how many overseas tourists visited three distinct regions (the coast, the mountains and the lake) of a particular European nation over the 20-year period from 1987 to 2007.
Overall, the coast was the most popular tourist destination by the end of the period, despite an initial drop in visitor numbers. The lakes saw the most dramatic growth before a sharp decline, while the mountains consistently attracted the fewest visitors throughout the two decades.
In detail, coastal visits started at 40,000 in 1987, dipped slightly to 34,000 in 1992, then rose steadily to reach a peak of 77,000 in 2007. By contrast, the number of visitors to the lake rose rapidly from just 8,000 in 1987 to a high of 75,000 in 2002, after which this figure fell significantly to 50,000 by 2007.
The mountains remained the least visited area. Its visitor count grew gradually from 20,000 in 1987 to 31,000 in 1997, stayed stable until 2002, and then climbed marginally to 36,000 at the end of the period.
