The chart shows the average number of hours each day that Chinese, American, Turkish and Brazilian tourists spent doing leisure activities while on holiday in Greece in August 2019.


The given chart illustrates the average amount of time per day that four different groups of tourists spend on holiday leisure activities in Greece in August 2019.

Overall, it is clear that Chinese tourists spent the most time reading books, compared to other groups. In addition, visiting new destinations is not a favorite leisure activity among tourists.

It is clear that there was a significant rise in the number of hours that Chinese tourists spent reading books, which was registered at 8 hours/day. Meanwhile, Turkish and Brazilian tourists read books for half the amount of time that Chinese tourists did; 4 hours per day, to be exact. American tourists, on the other hand, witnessed a slight growth in the number of hours compared to them, which is recorded at 5 hours/day.

A considerable increase in the amount of time was recorded at 6 hours/day by Brazilian tourists, which was larger than the 3 remaining groups. Despite the fact that Chinese tourists spent a large number of hours reading, the number of hours spent at the beach hit a low-point of 3 hours.

As for going to new destinations, Americans and Turkisks had a similar interest, resulting in the same amount of time, registered at 3 hours. According to the Chinese, it was the least favorite activity when they only spent around 1 hour a day.
