The line graph illustrates the number of visitors to a Caribbean island between 2010 and 2017, divided into three categories: visitors staying on the island, visitors staying on cruise ships, and the total number of visitors. Overall, the total number of visitors increased dramatically over the period. While the number of visitors staying on cruise ships started as the smallest category, it experienced steady growth and eventually surpassed the number of visitors staying on the island, which showed more moderate changes.
In 2010, the number of visitors staying on cruise ships was approximately 0.25 million. Despite minor fluctuations, this figure rose consistently throughout the period, reaching 2 million in 2017. Meanwhile, the number of visitors staying on the island started at 0.75 million in 2010, increased gradually, and peaked at 1.5 million in 2013. After that, it leveled off, ending the period with slight fluctuations.
The total number of visitors began at exactly 1 million in 2010 and rose steadily to reach 3.5 million by 2017. The most significant contribution to this increase came from visitors staying on cruise ships, whose growth rate was faster compared to those staying on the island.
