Bangkok has been named the world’s most visited city for 2024, with 32.4 million international tourists, according to a December 4 report by Euromonitor International.

The Thai capital saw a growth of over 30% from 2023, cementing its position as a global tourism leader. The city’s vibrant culture, affordable living costs, and attractive visa policies—such as a 60-day visa exemption for 93 countries and an expanded visa-on-arrival program—contributed to its success.

Trailing Bangkok were Istanbul with 23 million visitors and London with 21.7 million.

Completing the top 10 cities were Hong Kong (20.5 million), Mecca (19.3 million), Antalya (19.3 million), Dubai (18.2 million), Macau (18 million), Paris (17.4 million), and Kuala Lumpur (16.5 million).

Bangkok also ranked first in tourism policies and appeal, underscoring its reputation as a world-class destination.

Imagine how much better 5th ranked Mecca might do with a proper bar and ballroom, hard to belive in an Olympic year lovely Anytala had more international visitors than Paris , while pretty sure if we remove the unecessary word International really attractive places where I have chosen to spend my own money to visit like Vancouver, Dublin, Prague, Miami Barcelona,Nice, Sydney, SF and of course not my scene Vegas would be up right there.

Of course shrewder punters unencumbered by rugrats may prefer the dungeons of Manchester, New York Seattle or the Dumpsters of that fine city of Perth
