Diplomatic Travel Activity

From initial observation we can start by analyzing the data and identifying patterns or trends.

The official visits have dropped significantly in 2020, even lower than the number of flights in 1990, which must have been due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

looking beyond 2020 and investigating other years it seems that Palestine has sent most diplomatic visitors in 11 out of 35 years in each year.

in terms of who received the most diplomatic visitors it seems that the United States has received the most diplomatic visitors in 25 out of 35 years.
