The line graph illustrates the number of tourists coming to visit a specific Caribbean island and choosing to stay on an island or on cruise ships, and their sum from 2010 to 2017. ok
Overall, both groups showed an upward trend, which contributed to the gradual growth of their sum. Yet, their growth rate differed: while the number of visitors on cruise ships showed an eightfold increase, it was merely a twofold increase for the other group. Moreover, while the latter group first reached its peak in 2013, it was only in 2017 when the former reached its highest.
More specifically, the figures for visitors staying on cruise ships started at approximately 0.25 million of tourists in 2010, which is three times less than those for tourists staying on the island. Three consequent years witnessed minor fluctuations in the former group, while the latter, having remained stable within the first year of the period in question, doubled by 2013, which was followed by the 2 year period of stability from 2013 to 2015. Within the same period, the figures for those choosing to stay on cruise ships showed a steady increase and overtook the other group by 2016, which resulted in their reaching a peak at 2 million tourists by 2017. Having seen a slight dip in 2016, the figures for visitors staying on the island finished at 1.5 million people. All in all, having started at 1 million visitors, their total steadily increased and more than tripled by the end of the period.
