Every country is beautiful in its own manner and is really worth
visiting, but there are some countries that attract much more tourists than
others. There is the list of the 5 of the most visited countries
of the last several years 1) France (76.7 million visitors a
year) 2) Spain (51.7 million visitors) 3) U.S. (41.9 million
visitors) 4) Italy (39.8 million visitors) 5) China (36.8
million visitors)
This is the data of 1998 1) France (70 million visitors) 2)
Spain (47,7 million visitors) 3) United States (47 million
visitors) 4) Italy (34,8 million visitors) 5) United Kingdom
(25,4 million visitors)
The top 4 has remained the same since the end of the last
century, but fast developing and becoming more and more popular
China replaced the United Kingdom on the fifth place. You can
also see that china is going to overcome Italy in amount of
tourists. You can also see that the total amount of tourists has
increased - people became to travel more. So, the most popular
country with big odds given is France. Without any doubt the
most famous and popular city in France is Paris. It receives a
huge amount of visitors any season. In summer the whole Cote
d'Azur with Nice and Cannes becomes the most fashionable and
prestigious beach resort. Spain, mostly visited in summer is
also very popular beach destination with its resorts of Costa
Brave, Costa Dorada, Costa del Sol. Spanish islands - Canaries
and Balearics also attract millions. Barcelona and Madrid are on
the top of the list of the most visited Spanish cities. United States
have the third place with the significant number of tourists,
but mostly they are Americans. New York is the most visited by
tourists city and Florida and California are known for their
beach resorts. Italy, full of ancient attractions and sea
resorts is also among the leaders. Rome, Milan, Venice, Florence
- everybody knows these symbols of Italian bloom and the tourist
stream never exhausts. Among other popular travel destinations
we can name Thailand, although after tsunami it suffered a lot
of problems. Now it begins to rise again. According to some
questionings it is named the best place for swimming and beach
rest. These are the destinations popular worldwide. However
every country has its own favorites. For example, it's known
that Americans prefer to spend their holidays in Mexico, many
French like to visit Martinique and so on. In conclusion I can
say that nothing threatens France's leadership in the list of
the most popular countries but people open new, exotic
destinations which popularity is growing up.
