The line graph compares the number of visitors to a Caribbean island who opted to stay on cruise ships and on the island, and also the total number of visitors from 2010 to 2017. Units are measured in millions of visitors. In general, it can be clearly seen that the total number of tourists who visited the Caribbean island experienced a significant increase over the years. Additionally, the number of visitors who stayed on cruise ships was lower than that on the island. But after 7 years, the number of passengers who stayed on cruise ships surpassed the visitors who stayed on the island.
In 2010, the number of visitors who stayed on cruise ships was lower than the number of those who stayed on the island. There were approximately 0.3 million tourists who stayed on cruise ships. In the following year, there was a slight increase in the number of people who stayed on cruise ships to around 0.5 million. However, in 2012, the number returned to 0.3 million, after which it gradually climbed to 2 million visitors at the end of the period.
On the other hand, the number of visitors who stayed on the island was actually more than those who stayed on cruise ships from 2010 to 2011 by 0.8 million guests. After that, the number of individuals who wanted to stay on the island grew moderately until 2013. But from 2013 to 2015, the number of people who stayed on the island remained the same at 1.5 million. Not long after that, there were more passengers who chose to stay on cruise ships, causing the decrease in the number of tourists who stayed on the island by 1.3 million. Finally, in 2017, the number started to increase again, but it still could not exceed the record of those who stayed on cruise ships.
Overall, the number of visitors to the Caribbean island rose steadily over these 8 years, starting at 1 million in 2010 and reaching a peak of 3.5 million in 2017.
