Economics, affluence, proximity to major markets, natural capital and human made creations happen to be the best magnets to attract large number of inbound tourists to any country. A prominent tourism consulting provider has listed down the ten countries where maximum foreign tourists visit. The list starts with Thailand on tenth spot. Russia comes ninth. The UK, Germany and Turkey occupy the next three spots. At number five is Italy. Not surprisingly, China has made its mark in this industry too, now on fourth spot. Spain takes up the bronze position. The USA is the runner-up in this list. Right on top for yet another year is France.
