The ~~figure~~ bar chart showed (Use present tense. The chart exists right now as you are describing it.) the average amount of time spent each day by groups (There is no indication that these are tour groups - that is people all travelling together.) of tourists from China, America, Turkey, and Brazil on three different types of activities while on holiday in Greece in August 2019. The three activities are reading, sightseeing ~~traveling,~~ (Holiday traveling is going from your home country to the destination. That is not the subject here. You can write "travelling locally" but the best word is "sightseeing") and going to the beach.

Overall, reading books is the most preferred holiday activity, (incorrect reporting. You lose a lot of points by reporting the wrong information. Brazilians and Turks preferred going to the beach, not reading.) followed by going to the beach. By contrast, tourists spend the least time visiting attractions.

Chinese tourists spend the longest time reading books with around 8 hours a day. By contrast, spending time at the beach is the most preferred activity (You just contradicted what you wrote in the "overall" paragraph. You lose more points.) by the Brazilian tourist group, with exactly 6 hours a day. American tourists and Turkish tourists spend the same amount of time traveling. Similarly, The Turkish tourist group spends the same number of hours reading as the Brazilian group. While the Chinese spent twice the amount of time reading books as the Turkish and Brazilian, American and Turkish tourists spend three times as much time sightseeing as Chinese tourists ~~regarding the number of hours spent traveling.~~

You missed an important "overall" -

Overall, visitors from all the countries spend a total of 12 hours per day on these activities, and participate in all of them. However, reading books is the primary choice of Chinese and American tourists whereas the other two groups prefer beach activities. Sightseeing ranks third for everyone.
