London - The most attractive tourist destination on the planet

According to statistics recently published in the Wall Street Journal, London has surpassed Bangkok and become the most attractive tourist destination in the world today.

It is estimated that in 2014, London will receive 18.7 million visitors from all over the world and collect revenue of more than 19.3 million dollars. Meanwhile, Bangkok attracts only 16.4 million visitors and brings a total of 13 million dollars.

One of the reasons given is that the socio-political situation in Thailand has somewhat affected tourism sales in the country.

In addition, Paris ranked third in the list of the 20 most attractive cities on the planet, up 1 rank from last year. Ranked No. 4 on the list is Singapore island nation with the estimated number of visitors is 12.47 million. At the same time, an interesting point is that among the 20 cities on the list, the number of destinations in Asia is quite large, 9 out of 20 cities.

Also according to the report from WSJ, although not in the list of the 20 most attractive cities in the world, but the growth of tourists in Southeast Asia also increased rapidly. As expected, Jakatar has a 19% increase in visitors and Hanoi will achieve a growth rate of 15% this year.
