Top 10 of the world's most touristic countries in 2017: ranking of the world's most visited countries!
More than a billion (1,235 billion) of people traveled to another country last year, according to the annual report of the World Tourism Organization on international tourism.
But where did they all go you ask?
These tourists have certainly gone to see one of the 50 most visited monuments in the world in France, Spain, the United States or elsewhere. As you may doubt, France has been the most tourist country in the world for years, but which countries precede it?
Here is the complete list of the most visited countries in the world in 2017 (based on the number of "international tourist arrivals" that have spent at least one night on site):

Yes, it is France that remains the most visited country in the world in 2017. For more information, read our article on this topic: France again the most visited country in the world . It can be noted that 7 countries in Europe (if Russia and Turkey are counted) are in this top 10. France is well ahead of the global tourism sector. I hope it lasts!
