The line graph gives us information about the visitor count of a Caribbean island from 2010 until 2017.
Overall, visitor’s number had experienced an upward trend, with minimum fluctuations. This had been most noticeable in visitors staying on cruise, which figures had overtaken those who stayed on island as the longest island’s experience throughout the years.
According to the graph, in total, there were rises of different extent. During the first two years, visitors increased gradually, and it turned out to be steady by 2014, reaching 2.5 millions of visitors. Thereafter, it grew slowly to around 2.75 millions of visitors, a figure which had remained steady to 2016. However, it climbed dramatically reaching a peak of 3.5 millions of tourists by 2017.
Going more in detail we can divide visitors’ portion into two categories: those who stayed on cruise and those who stayed on island. Three quarters of tourists’ total count decided to stay on cruise in 2010, and a third of the total remained on island. Cruise’s visitors rose steadily to 1,5 million in 2013, and leveled off three years ahead. Then, from 2015 to 2017, its numbers fluctuated to the same visitors reached in 2013. On the other hand, visitors staying on land’s figures fluctuated until 2012, and henceforth it grew moderately overpacing cruise tourists by the half of 2015. Finally, by 2017, it reached 2 millions of visitors.
