The given line graph illustrates the number of tourists who visited a Caribbean island between 2010 and 2017, categorized by those staying on the island, those on cruise ships, and the total number of visitors.
Overall, all three figures followed an upward trend throughout the period. While the number of visitors staying on the island grew gradually, it was eventually overtaken by the figure for cruise ship visitors, which became the second highest by the end of the period.
In the initial three years, the number of cruise ship visitors fluctuated between 0.25 and 0.5 million. From 2013 onwards, it began to increase steadily, reaching 2 million in 2017 and surpassing the number of island-based tourists in 2016. In contrast, the number of visitors staying on the island remained constant at 0.75 million during the first two years, before rising moderately to 1.5 million in 2013. This figure remained unchanged until 2017, with the exception of a slight dip to 1.25 million in 2016.
Similarly, the total number of visitors rose significantly over the entire period, climbing from 1 million in 2010 to 3.5 million in 2017. The only period of stability occurred between 2015 and 2016, when the figure plateaued at 2.7 million.
