Where is the most popular country in the world? How much is Japan? Foreign tourist visit ranking

Nowadays, it's easy to get cheap flights, and it's easier to travel around the world. Do you know where the most popular countries in the world are now? This time, we will introduce the ranking of the number of foreign visitors to countries and regions around the world in 2017.

10th place: Thailand

Thailand, which is called "the land of smiles," is ranked 10th! One place down from 9th place in 2016. Thailand, which belongs to the tropics, is warm throughout the year, and the capital Bangkok is one of the world's leading cities in Asia. Suvarnabhumi International Airport, which opened in 2006, is developing as a hub airport in Asia.

Apart from Bangkok, Thailand has many attractive areas such as Chiang Mai, Ayutthaya, and Phuket, so I can't go by one trip and I have many repeaters.

9th place: Germany

Germany is rich in beautiful cityscapes and historical buildings, such as the Neuschwanstein Castle, the romantic road and the Berlin Wall, ranks 9th. I dropped two places from 7th place in 2016, but it is a country I want to visit at least once.

Germany is famous for beer and sausage, and the "Oktoberfest" is held in Munich every year. However, beer consumption is the fourth largest in the world. China ranked number one for the 14th consecutive year. I thought Germany was number one, which was a surprising result.

8th: Turkey

Turkey has moved up from 10th place in 2016 to 2nd place with 8th place. There are plenty of things to see, such as Istanbul, which spans Asia and Europe, Cappadocia, which is famous for its rock formations, and the ancient city of Ephesus. Turkish food, which is one of the three major dishes in the world, is also delicious.

In Turkey, the lira of the Turkish currency fell by more than 20% in just one day in August 2018. As a result, the number of foreign tourists visiting Turkey to shop in high-end shops is increasing. How high will Turkey's number of foreign tourist visits increase in 2018? This is where I am concerned.

7th place: UK

The UK is one place down from 6th place in 2016 to 7th place. United Kingdom = Great Britain is located on the northwest coast of the European continent, the northeastern part of Ireland, and other islands. England's Big Ben and Tower of London, as well as Cotswold and Stonehenge located on the country side, are full of historical destinations in England alone.

In addition, there are many tourist destinations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, which are self-governing states, and it can be said that this country is a country that you will want to visit again and again.

6th place: Mexico

Mexico has two ranks up from 8th place in 2016. I hear that the war on drug cartels has intensified and the security has deteriorated, but resort areas such as Cancun and Los Cabos are relatively safe. The white sandy beach and the blue sea spread out, making it a popular honeymooner.

In Mexico, there are the Mayan civilization "Chichen Itza Ruins" and the Teotihuacan civilization "Teotihuacan Ruins", which is convincing that there are many foreign tourists.

5th: Italy

Italy is 5th in the same rank as 2016. Located in the southern part of Europe, Italy is shaped like boots and boots, and there are plenty of sightseeing spots in the capital Rome alone, such as the Colosseum, Piazza di Spagna, and Trevi Fountain. It is also attractive that the Italian food famous for pasta and pizza is delicious.

In addition, there are many historical buildings in Venice, Milan, Florence, and so on, and it seems that it will continue to be a popular tourist destination in the future.

4th place: China

China also ranks fourth with 2016. With a long history, China has countless tourist attractions such as the World Heritage Great Wall, Jiuzhaigou Valley of crystal clear lakes, and Tiananmen Square. It is also characterized by its large scale of historical cultural heritage and fascinating beautiful nature.

Chinese food is roughly divided into eight types: Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian, Guangdong, Hunan, and Sichuan. It is also attractive that the cooking method and seasoning differ depending on the region you visit.

3rd place: USA

The United States, which was overtaken by Spain and dropped one place, came in third. Speaking of America, I think of New York, which is one of the world's top cities, Los Angeles, which is the center of the film and TV industry, and Las Vegas, which is famous for its casinos. However, there are many national parks such as the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone.

Other than that, there are huge theme parks such as Disneyland and Universal Studios, so you wonder where to go.

2nd place: Spain

Spain has moved up one place from the 3rd place in 2016. It seems that eight times as many foreign tourists as the population are visiting. It seems that the number of tourists is increasing in Barcelona and Ibiza, which has a great impact on the lives of residents. The number of people's nights will increase, noise problems will occur, apartment rental fees will rise, and locals will be chased by the town.

However, Spain has the third largest number of world heritage sites in the world, and there are many tourist spots you want to see at least once in your life, such as the Sacrada Familia in Barcelona and the Alhambra in Granada! If this situation continues, the number of foreign tourists will continue to increase.

1st place: France

France was the top winner. As it is truly a major tourist power, it has maintained its leading position for over 30 years in a row. In Paris, it seems that the number of foreign tourists has temporarily decreased since the September 11 terrorist attacks in Paris, but it is currently recovering.

Speaking of France, the image of a tourist destination in Paris is strong, but in addition to Paris, Mont Saint Michel famous for world heritage and Nice where the clear blue sea of   Cote d'Azur is attractive, Cannes famous for international film festival There are many highlights. In 2017 alone, France was visited by about 86 million foreign tourists. However, he says he is aiming for 100 million foreign tourists annually for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris
