In terms of tourism, a “stopover” is a stay of at least one night in a location while on the way to another location for either personal or business travel. A tour guide finds a table of records of stopover visits by Canadians in January–March (Q1) of 2024 and of 2025. The tour guide claims that out of the listed locations, Cuba experienced the greatest decrease in such visits by people who were traveling for personal reasons but was still a very popular stop in both periods.
Based on the information in the text and table, is the tour guide’s claim supported?
A
No, because even though the table shows that Cuba had high numbers of stopover visits from Canada in both periods, that total was several hundred thousand lower than Mexico’s peak in those periods
B
No, because even though the table shows that Cuba had more total stopover visits from Canada than most other locations did in both periods, it doesn’t show numbers by type of travel
C
Yes, because the table shows that Cuba had the second highest total number of stopover visits from Canada in both Q1 2024 and Q1 2025
D
Yes, because the table shows that the percent change in stopover visits from Canada to Cuba between the two periods was negative, indicating a decline in totals for both types of travel
