IELTS Academic Task1 4th January 2020

The charts below show the proportion of holidaymakers using four different types of accommodations in three different years. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

The pie charts compare the proportion of holidaymakers who stayed with family and friends, who stayed at hotels, who stayed at rented apartments and who camped between 1988 and 2008.

Overall, it can be seen that the proportion of holiday makers who stayed with family and friends was significantly more than those who preferred the other three types of accommodations. Moreover, the figures for those staying with family and friends and those doing camping fell, while the proportion choosing hotels and rented apartments increased.

In 1988, just over a half of holidaymakers stayed with friends and family while the proportion camping out was nearly half of that. With time, both these numbers fell and in 2008, 44% stayed with family and friends and only 12% preferred to camp out on holidays.

By contrast, the percentage of holidaymakers renting places during holidays and boarding at hotels rose with time. In 1988, only 7% stayed in rented apartments, while the proportion of staying at hotels accounted for 15% of the holidaymakers. In 2008, the figure stood at 22% each for both rented apartments and hotels.
