The line graph demonstrates the number of tourists traveling to a particular Caribbean island from 2010 to 2017.
Overall, the number of visitors to the island increased significantly over the 8-year period. There was a slight increase in the number of people staying on the island, while there was a relatively large surge in those staying on cruise ships.
The total number of travelers to the island was 2.5 times higher in 2017 than in 2010. The figure increased steadily initially, reaching 1.5 million in 2012. Subsequently, there was an influx of visitors in the following two years, with the data remaining relatively unchanged between 2015 and 2016. However, the year after, there was a significant increase in the tourist population size, rising to 3.5 million from around 2.75 million.
The number of individuals staying on the island was lower compared to those staying on ships. However, it experienced a higher rate of growth and eventually surpassed the number of individuals staying on ships by the year 2016. The number of land-based visitors increased by approximately 1.75 million over the 8-year period. In contrast, while the number of visitors staying on boats also increased due to the overall rise in population size, the growth was relatively small at only 0.75 million.
