In 1980, festival attendance was the highest among the four attractions, with
around 30% of tourists attending, followed closely by aquariums at approximately
28%. Castle visits began at just above 20%, and zoos were the least popular, with
only 10% of visitors. Over the next 15 years, the percentage of tourists visiting
castles rose sharply, reaching a peak of 45% in 1995, making it the most visited
attraction during that time. Meanwhile, aquarium visits peaked at 35% in 1980 but

18% in 2010. By the end of the period, zoos had overtaken both festivals and
aquariums in popularity, while castle visits remained the highest, although they
