In 2022, 963 million people spent at least one night in a foreign country, according to a report published by the United Nations World Tourism Organization in May 2023. Travellers looking for escape and a change of scenery have set foot on five continents, visiting countries from France to Mexico and Turkey.
France, the most visited country in the world
France has topped the chart of the most visited countries in the world for more than 30 years now. This country has something to charm every type of traveller: breathtaking natural sites, cities with culture and cuisine for all tastes, and quaint historic villages. Although Paris remains the leading tourist city in France, having welcomed more than 44 million tourists in 2022, international visitors are particularly fond of medium-sized cities by the sea or in the mountains. Some of the top destinations in France include Chamonix, a winter sports resort with lively streets in winter and summer alike, the old Provençal town of Aix-en-Provence and the capital of the Grand-Est, Strasbourg, for its stunning Christmas market, one of the most enchanting in Europe.
