After all, we don’t want to be “like-minded”, but we are always curious about why so many people are interested in visiting these places.
To satisfy your curiosity, we brought you Euromonitor International ‘s Top 100 Destination Cities 2022 Index that compares the attractiveness of 100 cities in the world in six categories, which include tourism policy, economic performance, sustainability, infrastructure, health, and safety.
