A new report claims the Asia Pacific was a dominating regional hotspot for international tourists in 2025.<\/p>\n
Last month, Euromonitor International released its annual Top 100 City Destinations Index. Within the report, the London-based market research firm released its ranking of 2025\u2019s most visited cities by international visitors. Bangkok topped the list, with 30.3 million people reportedly arriving in Thailand\u2019s capital. Suitable for both short-term and long-term travelers<\/a>, the city is beloved for its grand temples, delicious street food, and unforgettable nightlife. Travel inspiration for visits to Bangkok may have been further influenced by HBO\u2019s The White Lotus<\/em>, which featured the city in its latest season<\/a>, debuting back in April.<\/p>\n Hong Kong ranked second on Euromonitor International\u2019s list of most visited cities this year, with 23.2 million international visitors. Per the report, London ranked third, with 22.7 million visitors.<\/p>\n On a regional level, the top 10 list shows that Asia-Pacific<\/a> locations accounted for nearly half of 2025\u2019s most visited cities. That doesn\u2019t include ranked destinations in Turkey, which is sometimes also considered<\/a> part of the Asia Pacific, according to the World Population Review.<\/p>\n Bangkok<\/strong>, Thailand \u2013 30.3 million<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Hong Kong<\/strong> \u2013 23.2 million<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n London<\/strong>, United Kingdom \u2013 22.7 million<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Macao<\/strong>, China \u2013 20.4 million<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Istanbul<\/strong>, Turkey \u2013 19.7 million<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Dubai<\/strong>, United Arab Emirates \u2013 19.5 million<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Mecca<\/strong>, Saudi Arabia \u2013 18.7 million<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Antalya<\/strong>, Turkey \u2013 18.6 million<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Paris<\/strong>, France \u2013 18.3 million<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Kuala Lumpur<\/strong>, Malaysia \u2013 17.3 million<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n Earlier this month, Euromonitor International\u2019s Global Head of Loyalty, Nadejda Popova, commented<\/a> on the state of international travel and the organization\u2019s annual index.
