Top 10 Tourism Countries



As per the data complied by the United Nations World Tourism organisation (UNWTO), out of a global total of 940 million tourists, the top ten international tourism destinations in 2010 were as below:


International tourist arrivals (mn)
1 France 76.80
2 United States 59.75
3 China 55.67
4 Spain 52.68
5 Italy 43.63
6 United Kingdom 28.13
7 Turkey 27.00
8 Germany 26.88
9 Malaysia 24.58
10 Mexico 22.40

Despite the abundant natural beauty and vast history, what stops India to make it among the top tourist destinations?

I believe hygiene, population, and security would probably be the key reasons tourists prefer to skip India. What are your thoughts?

  2. Although the United States and Spain receive more revenue from tourism, France has been the world’s number one tourist destination for several years.
