Changes in the Ways People Spent Their Holidays

The ways people spent their holidays have changed greatly recently.

In 2002, 35% of people spent their holidays at home. The number dropped greatly to 10% in 2006. It seems that people have more time and more money to enjoy the outside world than before.

The graph shows that the number of people spending their holiday traveling abroad increased. Compared with 15% in 2002, the rate in 2006 rose to 25 % . Because people now have much more money than before, they can afford to travel abroad , and the rate may continue to rise in the near future.

From the graph we can also see that the number of people going to the seaside remained nearly the same, while the number of people who go camping rose from 10 % in 2002 to 30 % in 2006. The reason may be that people become tired of the city life and want to be close to nature.
