The world's most popular tourism destinations
The Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and the palace of World War I peace, namely Versailles, have made France the world's most tourist-receiving country. 89 million tourists in France means that all of 83-million-person Iran and 4-million-person Kuwait and approximately 2-million-person Qatar in 2019 had traveled to 67-million-person France.
Spain, France's neighbor, with 83 million tourists a year, is in pursuit of France. Vast America and China, in each of which 18 Frances could fit, stand in the next ranks.
Tourism is in fact low-hassle wealth for host countries. Instead of working in mines, reservoirs and oil wells one can sit in a hotel and wait for dear tourists! Although it is not that simple either, keep in mind that some countries such as France and Spain have few natural resources for earning income and have a great need for tourism revenues. For example, they spend the euros received in hotels on buying oil from Saudi Arabia, with this difference that they have clean air and these have polluted air!
Do not forget the role of tourism in sustainable development.
