                    The data show that the growth rates of visitors by both sexes are characterized by the
                    same trend in dynamics. In 2015-2017, the growth rate of female visitors and male
                    visitors  increased,  by  8%  and  27%  for  men,  and  19%  and  18%  for  women,
                    respectively, and from 2018, the rate of increase in visitors for both sexes decreased.
