How the ranking works
The numbers are international arrivals from UN Tourism's International Tourism Highlights, 2025 Edition (data as of January 2026). Most countries count overnight tourists arriving at the border. Some count all visitors, including same-day trips (Japan, Vietnam, South Korea, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Australia, Taiwan, Iran, Algeria, Zimbabwe, Tajikistan and Ecuador). Others count arrivals at hotels and other lodgings (Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Croatia, Belgium, Sweden, Slovenia, Finland, Romania, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Luxembourg), and Cabo Verde counts arrivals at hotels. The card says which. Where the report has no 2024 figure, the 2023 figure is used (the UAE, Czechia, Kyrgyzstan, Kenya, Ghana and Sudan). Countries without a clear 2023 or 2024 figure in the report, among them China, Russia, Denmark, Norway and Pakistan, are not ranked, and territories such as Hong Kong, Macao and Puerto Rico are left out. Romania and Serbia are tied at 2,385,000.
