There’s something to be surprised about! Of course, some destinations remain very classic, but the presence of some countries in this list is much more surprising!

Figures are based on 2017 statements (minimum of one night on-site). One thing is certain: Europe is still a safe bet with France as the country most cherished by tourists over the years!



1. France: 82.6 million tourists

The threat of attack does not seem to have had too much impact on tourism. It must be said that between the French Riviera, Paris and the thousand-and-one authentic villages, our neighbours to the South have plenty to offer!

2. Spain – 82 million tourists

It’s a surprise and a big one! In 2016, Spain was in third position, almost even with the United States. In 2017, she takes second place and is able to tease France, with 600,000 tourists!

3. United States – 75.6 million tourists

We expected to see the United States on the podium, but not in third place! However, the number of tourists remains stable compared to previous years. Who doesn’t want to stroll around New York or stroll around California?

4. China – 59.3 million tourists

Since the “Middle Kingdom” opened up to tourism, tourists are flocking in droves! Over the last 3 years, the revenue in this area has been steadily increasing and ensures the country a comfortable 4th place, ahead of a country with a very noble pedigree…

5. Italy – 52.4 million tourists

With invaluable figures and countless masterpieces, the country can count on tourism as a stable and secure financial income. It must be said that the landscapes, the gastronomy and the history of this country are at the very least fascinating!

6. United Kingdom – 35.8 million tourists

Will Brexit change the game? Still, Britain seems to be a safe bet for tourists. However, it would be interesting to count the number of people visiting London and compare it to the numbers of tourists interested in the rest of the country…

7. Germany – 35.6 million tourists

As surprising as it may be, Germany attracts almost as many visitors as Britain! Berlin, in particular, has become a very trendy city for younger tourists.

8. Thailand – 32.6 million tourists

It is, by far, the country with the biggest increase! The democratization of flights, the development of the HORECA sector and idyllic landscapes are making more and more people dream…

9. Turkey – 30 million tourists

Last year was a record year for Turkey in terms of visits. It is indeed, the first time that she enters the top 10 in recent years!

10. Russia – 28.4 million tourists

Another surprise: last year, countries like Mexico and… Austria (sic) were more visited than Russia. Today, the largest country in the world takes its revenge by highlighting the remarkable architecture of its buildings and its sometimes lunar landscapes…
