Top 10 Tourist Cities Revealed; Hong Kong Tops List Of The Most Visited Cities In The World

Hong Kong is dubbed as the most visited city all over the world. The basis for the result was a 2015 statistics report since it's the most recent and reliable source of data. The city's international arrivals amounted to 26 million in 2015 which now gave it the number one spot at the top 10 tourist cities in the world.

The Telegraph reported that Hong Kong beat Bangkok for first place. The latter landed in second place only because it only got 18.8 million international arrivals from tourists. London got the third spot with a total of 18.6 million visitors.

The other countries that were included in the top 10 most visited cities in the world were Singapore (16.9m), Paris (15m), Macau (14.3), Dubai (14.3), Istanbul (12.4), New York City (12.3) and Kuala Lumpur (12.2m). All of these countries have the most amounts of international visitors in the world.

According to Forbes, almost all of these countries were also included in the top 10 most visited cities in the previous years except for Macau. Barcelona was part of the top 10 competing with its other European rivals like Amsterdam and Frankfurt. But according to the Euromonitor's latest reports, Barcelona came in at 25 with only 6.6 million visitors.

In other news, CNN reported that other tourist cities dropped in the rankings like Mexico's Cancun. Cancun was once a top destination for tourists, though it still is, but more tourists are now flocking to cities in Asia and in Europe.

India and Japan are trying to get the picture. Some of Japan's cities that are continuing to get more tourists are Osaka, Kyoto, and Tokyo. Indian cities like Agra, Delhi and Mumbai are also increasing in its percentage of international visitors.

More people are traveling the world now and it's a good sign that travel mobility is improving all over the world. It's not a surprise that in the future, other cities would also be included the top 10 list of the most visited cities in the world.
