What the chart shows
Line graph, 'Number of tourists visiting a Caribbean island (2010–2017)', in millions of visitors, with three lines: Total, Visitors staying on cruise ships, and Visitors staying on island. Total rose from 1.0 million in 2010 to 1.25 (2011), 1.5 (2012), 2.0 (2013), 2.5 (2014) and 2.75 (2015), was flat at 2.75 in 2016, then climbed to 3.5 in 2017. Visitors staying on the island started at about 0.75 million in 2010 and increased gradually to roughly 1.5 million by 2017, changing little after 2015. Visitors staying on cruise ships began lowest, at about 0.25 million in 2010, then climbed steadily, overtaking the island figure around 2015–2016 and reaching about 2.0 million in 2017.
