The line graph shows the number of first time visitors and returning visitors                                     
who visited Caryl Island from 2000 to 2008 
 
The line graph depicts the number of people who visited Caryl Island over an 8 year 
period from 2000, with data given in two yearly increments. 
In 2000, the number of people who visited the destination for the first time was 
approximately 8,000 per annum, compared with only about 3,000 returning visitors. 
However, by 2002, this trend had reversed, with slightly more than 4,000 new visitors 
compared to nearly 10,000 returning visitors. 
From 2002 to 2006, both returning and first time visitor numbers increased 
dramatically rising to a combined total of well over 24,000 visitors. 
While the combined number of people visiting the island remained high in 2008, the 
variation between first time and returning visitors narrowed as the number of people 
on their first visit continued to increase while those coming back for additional visits 
fell. 
In total, it is evident that the number of people visiting Caryl island increased 
significantly over the period given.
