The chart and table point out the number of overseas tourists and the most popular visitor countries to Britain in 2004-5.
It is clear from the bar graph that for almost every period (Jan - Dec), 2004 was a better year in term of numbers of visitors to Britain. In fact, the peak number over the two years was achieved in December 2004 (around 800 thousand visitors). The most significant period in terms of difference was the September period-approximately 610,000 compared to approximately 315,000. The only period where the numbers of visitors was larger in 2005 was in March. The difference however was only marginal. Clearly, 2004 was the better year in terms of visitors to Britain.
