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 explains how many tourists visited a certain Caribbean
island
from 2010 to 2017 (in millions). Moving to the
number
of
visitors
staying on the
island
and on a cruise ship, in 2010, the former was well over half a million,
whereas
those of the latter were lower than half (just under 0.5).The
number
of
visitors
on cruise ships saw a gradual increase by 0.5, and in the subsequent years, there was a significant growth to 2 m, in 2017, after a slight dip in 2012 and returning to the prior level.
However
, figures for
visitors
staying on the
island
, over the next five years, enjoyed a substantial increase to 1.5, in 2015, followed by a minimal decrease to nearly 1 m, in 2016, and again became to 1.5, in 2017.
According to
the total
number
of
visitors
, it stood at 1m, in 2010, after which it marginally rose, over the following seven years.
Overall
, as can be seen, the
number
of total
visitors
soared, and
visitors
would more like to stay on a cruise ship than that of staying on the
island
.
