1999: travels-50
2000: travels-60
"The figure for travels increased over the period/periods given."
When it comes to the "over" in the sentence, is this a grammatically correct sentence? I am confused because I am not sure which preposition to use. Over/in

Both can be correct, but there is a difference in meaning between them. The term "over the period" explicitly distributes the event across the time, while "in the period" allows the event to happen all at once.
In this sentence the loss will happen throughout the time frame.
Here the event happens all at once, or for only a portion of the time.
