Traveling Abroad

It can be seen from the chart that there have been sharp increases in the number of people traveling abroad in City X in the past decade. As the chart shows， the year 1995 witnessed only about 10，000 people from this city touring abroad. In 2000， the number soared to nearly 40，000. Last year， more than 120，000 people in the city chose to spend their vacations outside China. .cn

A number of factors account for the change in the chart， but the following are the most critical ones. First， thanks to the policy of reform and opening-up， the nation’s economy has been developing at a considerably high speed in the past decades. Therefore， the people have more extra money for traveling. Secondly， other relevant state policies and the boom of touring industry provide citizens with more opportunities to go out and see the world. Last but not least， people have attached greater importance to the quality of life， thus they spend more money and time traveling and sight-seeing.

In a word， this chart is a perfect indicator of China’s fast expanding economy and people’s rising standard of life. The trend of traveling abroad will further stimulate the development of our economy and broaden people’s horizons.
