Ex. 12. When we look at the UK tourist market for overseas visitors, we can consider (a) the number of visits made by people from different areas and (b) the amount of money spent during these visits. In the table below, these two factors are expressed as percentages of the total number of visits and of the total expenditure.

British Tourist Authority and Department of Industry statistics.
Now use the following information to complete the table.
Visitors to the UK from neighbouring countries had a higher percentage of total visits compared to their percentage of total expenditure. For example, people from Benelux made 13% of the visits to the UK but only spent 7% of the total. The figures for France were both 2% lower than the Benelux figures. For Eire, the figure for visits was 7% with 4% less for expenditure.
For more distant European countries and North America, the visits and expenditure percentages are much closer. Taking visits first, the figures for Italy/Spain/Portugal were 6% and 5%. For the USA, they were 13% and 15% and for Canada 4% each.
Long-haul visitors, on the other hand, had a higher percentage for expenditure than for the visits. For Australia/New Zealand, the visits figure was 4% with 3% more for expenditure. Japanese visitors made 1% of the visits but their percentage of expenditure was double this.
Visitors from neighbouring countries make more visits but spend less. Long-haul visitors come less frequently but spend more. What is the explanation for this, do you think?
