on the
island
itself, which underwent a more moderate increase. Visitors residing on the
island
during their travels began the period at about .75
million
, about 500,000 above those on
cruise
ships. From there, the numbers for the former climbed quickly to 1.5
million
by 2013, a full
million
higher than the latter at the same time.
Then
those on the
island
were relatively steady until the end of the time surveyed,
while
cruise
ship passengers rose steadily, surpassing the former figure midway through 2015 and reaching a peak in 2017 of 2
million
. The progressive patterns for visitors on
cruise
ships and the
island
were reflected in substantial gains for
overall
visitors, which started at 1
million
in 2010, grew consistently to 2.7
million
in 2015 before plateauing through 2016 and
then
increasing sharply to 3.5
million
by the end of the period.
