2nd place: Mallorca The second place on the podium goes to the Spanish island of Mallorca. Anyone who believes that this island only has wild party nights has been wrong. Mallorca offers so much more. Fantastic beaches, romantic places, delicious food and diverse hiking routes for active holidaymakers transform the popular Mediterranean island into a real paradise.
This emerges from data from the world tourism organization UN Tourism, which regularly publishes statistics on global travel behavior. Austria posted 32.2 million arrivals last year and is in position 13. First of all, France is 102 million tourist arrivals.
A ranking gives an insight as to which countries are trendy or are still the order of the day – and also, which are less in demand than before. The latest list is based on numbers for 2024. It shows that the global desire to travel is back after pandemic. Keywords such as flight shame do not seem to play a major role worldwide. Hundreds of million people fly.
The list of most visited countries has been leading France for decades, but Spain is on its neighboring country on its heels. But which countries are still in the top 20? And where is Germany? The countdown:
Places 20 to 11
India is located in 20th place – 20.6 million international arrivals were registered there. The Netherlands counted 21.3 million visitors. According to Hong Kong in China, this statistics, which is still managed independently, is still 18. Places 17 and 16: Malaysia and Portugal.
The promoted Saudi Arabia holds 15th place, where 29.7 million arrivals from abroad were counted, while it was only 17.5 million in 2019. The United Arab Emirates are on 14th place.
