Bangkok
With 20.5 million international visitors, the Thai city has a small lead over the two European cities that follow it. On average, tourists stay there for 4.7 nights and spend $173 per day.
London
An unmissable financial and tourist center, the British capital still continues to seduce: 19.83 million international visitors, with an astonishingly long average stay of 5.8 nights and average daily expenditure of 153 dollars. This last amount seems, on the contrary, curiously low, given the cost of living in London…
Paris
The city of light always seems to be a must but is still being copiously dropped by London. 17.44 million international tourists in 2017, for an average stay of 2.5 nights and an average amount of daily expenses of… 301 dollars!
Dubai
The Middle East seems to be popular: 15.79 million tourists, or 2.6 million more than in New York! Tourists stay 3.5 nights on average in Dubai and spend every day, a real fortune: 537 dollars!
Singapore
Asia again and again: 13.91 million international tourists, an average stay of 4.3 nights and daily spending of $286 for Singapore.
New York
We expected to find the American city in a very good place and finally, this sixth position is somewhat disappointing. The fact remains that every year, 13.13 million international visitors jostle there. They also stay there for a very long time: 8.3 nights, with 147 dollars as the average daily expenditure.
Kuala Lumpur
The capital of Malaysia is a surprise in this ranking. 12.58 million tourists in 2017 who stayed there for an average of 5.5 nights and spent $124 each day.
Tokyo
Japan was popular last year: 11.93 million international tourists, an average stay of 6.5 nights and $154 spent on average each day.
Istanbul
Growth forecasts for Turkey in 2018 are extremely promising! Last year, the city had already experienced good attendance: 10.7 million international tourists, for an average stay of 5.8 nights and daily expenditure of 108 dollars. This makes Istanbul the cheapest city on this list!
Seoul
Another surprise in this ranking: South Korea is entering this top! It must be said that business visits are also very numerous. 9.54 million international visitors in 2017, an average stay of 4.2 nights and $181 in daily expenses.
