The line graph gives us information about the visitor count of a Caribbean island from 2010 until 2017.
Overall, visitors’s numbers 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 to different extents. During the first two years, visitors increased gradually, and it turned out to be steady by 2014, reaching 2.5 million visitors. Thereafter, it grew slowly to around 2.75 million visitors, a figure that had remained steady until 2016. However, it climbed dramatically, reaching a peak of 3.5 million tourists by 2017.
Going more in detail, we can divide visitors’ portions into two categories: those who stayed on cruises and those who stayed on the island. Three-quarters of tourists’ total count decided to stay on cruises in 2010, and a third of the total remained on islands. 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, they grew moderately, overpacing cruise tourists by the half of 2015. Finally, by 2017, it had reached 2 million visitors.
