The table illustrates the purpose of visit abroad of 100,000 UK residents over 5 years(1994 to 1998)。
It can be seen from the table that there was a slight decrease in the number of holiday from 15,246 in 1994 to 14,898 in 1995. After that, the number increased sharply until 1998, peaking at 20,700. However,the 5 years witnessed a gradual rise in the number of business from 3,155 to 3,957.
The number of visits to friends and relatives remained stable from 1994 to 1995. However, there was a dramatic growth in the number over the next four years. The period from 1994 to 1998 experienced a fluctuation in the number of other reasons and it reached its lowest point at 954 in 1995. From 1994 to 1998, holiday had the highest number among the four reasons. From 1994 to 1996, business occupied the second place, but after that, the number of business was slightly lower than that of visits to friends and relatives. Comparatively, other reasons had the smallest number in the four reasons over the five years. In 1998, the number of holiday was about 20 times as much as that of other reasons.
从表格中可以看到度假的数字从1994年的15 246缓慢下降到1995年的14 898。从那以后,这个数字急剧上升直到1998年,达到高点20 700。然而,商务出行的数字在这五年中从3 155逐步增加到3 957。探亲访友的数字从1994年到1995年基本保持不变。在接下来的四年中急剧上升。从1994年到1998年,其他原因的数字经历了一个波动,在1995年达到低点954,从1994年到1998年,度假在四种原因中占有高的人数。
从1994年到1996年,商务出行占据第二位,但是从那以后,商务出行的人数比探亲访友的人数少一些。相比较而言,其他原因的人数是低的。在1998年,度假的人数是其他原因的大约20倍。
