The line graph shows visits to an island in the Caribbean, by holidaymakers, from 2010 to 2017. Overall, the total visitors increased and this trend was mirrored by both the number of visitors staying on the island and on cruise liners.
Total visits started at 1 million in 2010, and then increased throughout the period, except for a brief plateau at about 2.7 million throughout 2015. A sharp increase in the final year saw visitors rise to 3.5 million.
Tourists staying on the island were about 750 thousand in 2010; then, during the next three years, this doubled. The number plateaued from 2013 to 2015 at 1.5 million and then fluctuated at this level over the final two years.
Vacationers on cruise liners started the period at 250 thousand, after fluctuating for two years the number rose continually to reach approximately 1.3 million by 2015. Then, in 2015, the number surpassed those staying on the island and finished at 2 million by 2017.
