The line graph illustrates the number of trips made to an island in the Caribbean from 2010 to 2017.
Overall, the total number of visitors increased significantly throughout the entire period. Additionally, more tourists preferred to stay on cruise ships rather than on the island itself.
According to the line graph, there was an exponential rise in the number of tourists visiting the island, which grew from 1 million visitors in 2010 to 3.5 million in 2017, representing a 3.5-fold increase over seven years. Furthermore, the number of tourists staying on cruise ships saw a steady rise after 2012, reaching a peak of 2 million in 2017, which was eight times the number in 2012.
In addition, the number of visitors staying on the island doubled during the period, increasing from 750,000 to 1.5 million tourists; however, this growth rate was slower compared to that of the visitors staying on cruise ships. Notably, the number of tourists on cruise ships, which was lower than that of tourists on the island in 2012, surpassed those staying on the island by nearly 500,000 in 2017
