Summary

An exploration of travel data from 2019, using data scraped from Google Maps and Euromonitor International's research, reveals key trends in global tourism. The analysis highlights the top city destinations, with Asia leading by a significant margin, hosting 51% of the cities and receiving 60% of all visitors. Despite the pandemic skewing recent travel data, the study focuses on 2019 statistics, noting that cities like Bangkok, Macau, and Singapore experienced notable growth in visitors, while Hong Kong saw a decline. The research also delves into the types of attractions that draw tourists, with places like Bangkok known for temples and London for museums. Across the top destinations, attractions in London received the highest average ratings, and the study suggests that cities in Europe and America have more reviews due to a higher number of contributors.
