What Are the Most Visited Countries?

The World Tourism rankings are collected by the United Nations World Tourism Organization as part of their World Tourism Barometer publication, which is released up to six times per time. In the publication, destinations are ranked by the number of transnational caller advents, by the profit generated by inbound tourism, and by the expenditure of outbound trippers. In 2019, France was the most visited country in the world. Below are the top 10.

France 90.0 million
Spain 83.7 million
United States 79.3 million
China 65.7 million
Italy 64.5 million
Turkey 51.2 million
Mexico 45.0 million
Thailand 39.8 million
Germany 39.6 million
United Kingdom 39.4 million

My opinion of France
France is included in my list of favourite countries, where I have written the following: I visited France for the first time as a 12-year-old in 2000 with my family and experienced Tour de France on Mont Ventoux that year. I have since travelled to France with my school, several trips alone and later a few trips with my girlfriend, who is now my wife. I asked her in front of the Eiffel Tower if she would marry me, and she accepted.

France has given me many memories. It’s one of the easiest and most enjoyable countries to make a road trip. I find it easy to drive in France, and the countryside is fantastic, with many things to do and see. France is my second favourite country in the world for food, and I have experienced some of the best meals of my life in France. There will always be things to do in France, and it’s a country I would like to visit many times in the future. France also has impressive remote territories like Reunion, New Caledonia and St. Pierre, which I really enjoyed. Bora Bora didn’t meet my expectations, but I enjoyed other places in French Polynesia. Their Caribbean islands are stunning, with Saint Barthélemy being the best, in my opinion.
