The graph below shows a number of tourists visiting a particular carribean island between 2010 and 2017. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The line graph displays the

number

of

tourists

that visited an unnamed Caribbean

island

between 2010 and 2017. The

tourists

are divided into two groups – those staying on

cruise

ships

and those staying on the

island

itself – and these had a loosely inverse correlation. The total

number

of visitors,

however

, rose more or less continuously throughout the eight-year period. In the first year recorded, which was 2010, there were about twice as many

tourists

staying on the

island

as those staying on

cruise

ships

. A year later, the

number

staying on

cruise

ships

doubled to a half

million

, but

this

dropped back to around a quarter

million

in 2012. When the figures for

tourists

on

cruise

ships

dropped, the

number

staying on the

island

rose quickly and over the coming few years, as

this

sudden increase levelled off, the

number

of people who stayed onboard their ship continued to grow again. Between 2012 and 2017, there were more and more visitors staying on

cruise

ships

. From just a quarter

million

,

this

rose to two

million

,

while

the figures for those on the

island

levelled off at just one and a half

million

and

then

dropped slightly in the penultimate year, before finishing at one and a half.

This

meant that, for the final two years, more

tourists

stayed on

cruise

ships

than on the

island

.
