The line graph compares the numbers of visitors staying on
ships
and going on the
island
in a Caribbean
island
between 2010 and 2017.
Overall
, during the given period, there was an upward trend in the
number
of visitors visiting
this
island
. Before the middle of 2015, the
number
of tourists staying on the
island
was consistently higher than the figure for those on cruise
ships
. In 2010, there were 1
million
people
visiting
this
Caribbean
island
, with 0.75
million
on
ships
and 0.25
million
on land. In the next few years, both figures steadily increased, but the gap between the two numbers gradually narrowed to about 0.5
million
. In 2015, the
number
of total visitors came to approximately 2.75
million
.

year, the

of

exceeded its on-

number
, but the
number
of
people
staying on
ships
was slightly higher than
people
staying on the

million
(stayed on
ships
) and 1.5
million
(stayed on the
