LoginWe are comparing no. of tourists so it can't be in terms of %. But we can use " By" .
concept-now it is 7 % by ten yr it will be 10%..an increase of 3%
What are think EV?
" THE NUMBER" THE is use for particular/ specific number, here its count as singular subject, so here "IS" is correct
"FROM SEVEN TO TEN PERCENT" here FROM is removed because, in sentence we are assuming or expecting that the number will rise its not true and not a final figure. So FROM is used when we have some data with proof. clarify you with an example...
eg. GDP OF INDIA WAS RISE FROM SEVEN TO TEN PERCENT IN LAST YEAR.
