First place goes to Bangkok, which receives 22 million visitors annually. Paris and London hold second and third positions, surpassing the 19 million tourist entries. The next cities with the greatest tourist attractions are Dubai and Singapore, thus spreading the top five destinations between Europe and Asia.
