The graph below shows the number of tourists visiting a particular Caribbean island between 2010 and 2017.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features,and make comparisons where relevant.
The line graph compares the number of visitors to a specific Caribbean
island
and the places
tourists
stay when they visit over a seven-year period from 2010.
It is clear that
there have been constantly more
tourists
coming to visit the
island
over the period shown. Compared to the previous stage, since 2016, more travellers have been willing to stay on a cruise ship rather than on the
island
. In 2010, with a total of a mere one
million
tourists
, the number of
tourists
staying on the
island
was approximately three times as many as those staying on board. The total number of visitors continued to increase and 2017 saw a dramatic rise with a figure of 3.5
million
. Prior to 2016, there were always more people deciding to live on the
island
during their visit.
However
,
this
trend has reversed, with 1.5
million
people choosing to stay on board in 2016, as opposed to the 1.25
million
who chose to stay on the
island
.
Moreover
,
this
discrepancy became even greater in 2017, with 0.5
million
.
