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

The line graph depicts the

number

of tourists, in millions, who stayed on cruise ships or the islands during their visit from one of the Caribbean islands over an interval from 2010 to 2017.

Overall

, the total

number

of visitors increased significantly.

In addition

, visitors opted to stay on cruise ships more than on the island until 2015 when that changed. On the one hand, the

number

of tourists who chose to stay on the island in 2010 started at about 0.25

million

and gradually increased to 2

million

in 2017.

However

, one noticeable change in figures is for 2012, which is the only point that it faced a decline.

On the other hand

, the graph for travellers who stayed on the island is quite different than the two other lines. The

number

here begins at around 0.75

million

and with a small deviation stays there for next year.

Then

during the next two years fit went from 0.75

million

in 2011 to 1.5

million

in 2013 and stayed there until 2015, afterwards, declined to about 1.5

million

and

finally

stood at 1.5

million

again in 2017.
