United States

The United States receives around 79 million international visitors per year, generating over $240 billion in travel exports—more than double the tourism revenue of France, the world’s top-1 most visited country, and 60% higher than Spain's income. New York City's Times Square draws 50 million visitors annually, the Grand Canyon hosts 6 million, Yellowstone National Park records 4.5 million, Las Vegas attracts 42 million including domestic travelers, and Walt Disney World alone welcomes 20 million international guests per year. This unmatched variety of attractions across six time zones supports its #3 rank by visitors and #1 by spending, with average per-visitor expenditure of $3,038, 40% higher than the typical rival.
