The line graph displays the figure of visitors to a Caribbean

Island

from 2010 to 2017 based on their place of stay.

Overall

, the total of tourists visiting the

island

continued to increase over the period.

However

, there was a change in the number of people staying on cruise ships and on the

island

. Even though the number of people staying on a ship started lower, it steadily grew and surpassed the number of visitors that stayed on the

island

.

Island

-staying visitors started at around 0.7

million

in 2010, and gradually went up to 1,5

million

from 2013 to 2015, before fluctuating to about 1,3

million

in 2016 and going back to 1.5

million

in 2017.

On the contrary

, staying on cruise ships started lower in 2010 by roughly 0.3

million

.

million
