REPORTING: JAPAN-AUSTRALIA INTERPLAY

The first chart gives information about the numbers of the Japanese tourists which travelled abroad during the years 1985 and 1995. After that, the second chart illustrates the percentages coming to Australia by Japan's tourist market. Initially, over four million Japanese people stood out as tourists in 1985. Moreover, this number of proportions nearly increased until five years later steadily. In that year, a small loss of momentum showed up. However, within the years 1991 to 1995, an outstanding gain of momentum was seen. Furthermore, the number of travelling abroad among the Japanese people has reached the highest amount so far. As for the second chart, which is more eminent for the commercial angle, it seems like the proportion of increase generally dominated the graph. Within the year 1985, the lowest percentage coming to Australia by Japanese tourists appeared for the first time, with a 2 per cent. By the years, this effect sustained its stability until the year 1988. However, after one year, a small decrease was shown up for Australia's portion of Japan's market which is touristic. Maybe not surprisingly, the increasing proportion remained its circumstance until the year 1993 faster than ever. On the other hand, maybe this was surprising, a small decrease stood out in 1994 again.
