IELTS Writing task 1: Table (07-2017)

Task

The table compares the number of people who paid visits to six World Heritage sites in Australia from 1996 to 2000.

It is clear that the period witnessed the increase in the quantity of travelers visiting those places, except Central Eastern Rainforest Reserve and Macquarie Island. Great Barrier Reef was the most attractive tourist destination over the period shown.

In 1996, Great Barrier Reef appealed to 1,670,000 tourists, doubling the figure for Rainforest Reserve located in the Central Eastern which attracted only 810,000 people. Over the four- year period, visitor statistics for Great Barrier Reef increased moderately to nearly 3,000,000 in 1998 before another 200,000 climb from that time to 2000. In contrast, there was a minimal fall in the figure for Rainforest Reserve to 790,000 and 770,000 respectively.

Many fewer travelers visited the other destinations in comparison with the two first ones. Roughly 500,000 people went to Blue Mountains and Tasmania Wilderness each, which went up to 581,000 and 483,000 in 2000. In comparison, 84,000 travelers selected Shark Bay in 1996, exponentially higher than Macquarie Island’s with only 350 visitors. While the former showed a rise to 89,000, the latter dropped marginally to only 330 in the end of the period.
