These are the 20 most visited cities in the world

Market research company Euromonitor has released a new report detailing the most visited cities in the world.

It crunched the numbers to find the destinations with the highest numbers of international tourist arrivals, using data from 2015. The report found that global city tourism continues to rise year on year.

Two of the top-ten cities, Hong Kong and Macau, relied on Chinese visitors for their success, partly thanks to the country’s rapidly rising levels of disposable incomes.

London took the bronze position on the list, but Euromonitor’s predictions suggest that the triggering of Article 50 (and the looming threat of a disorderly Brexit) will have an adverse effect on tourist numbers.

Johannesburg was the only African city to make it into the top 100 list of most visited cities, and Africa failed to appear at all in the top 20.
