The line graph illustrates the number of tourists traveling to a Caribbean island and decided to stay in one of two types of accommodation: on cruise ships or on the island in the period of 7 years from 2010 to 2017. Overall, the number of visitors had chosen to stay on cruise ships or on the island increased significantly which lead to the peak of accommodation services given to tourists in the last year.
In 2010, 2011 and 2012, from 250000 at minimum and 500000 at maximum of individuals stayed on cruise ships, the figure was lowest in 2010 and 2012 and exactly the opposite in 2012 with the highest figure of half a million. In the following years, the number for this category intensely surged all the way to its peak at 2 million in 2017 and also recorded a recorvery to 500000 in 2013, which created a repeated pattern from 2010 to 2013 with ups and downs.
The number for visitors decided to stay on island was recorded with a stagnation of 750000 individuals in 2010 and 2011. However, this figure consistently rose from 750000 in 2012 all the way to the peak of 1.25 million in 2013 to 2017 and only saw a slight decrease of 250000 to 1.25 million in 2016 to eventually gaining back the momentum to its previous peak in 2017. As the positive numbers from those two category reported earlier seeing significant growth spurt, the total number of visitors choosing to stay on those two types of accomodation saw a recognisable three-times fold from its initial figure of 1 million all the way to 3.5 million.
