cavanami Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 http://gma.yahoo.com/worlds-most-visited-city-not-london-paris-nyc-175320938--abc-news-travel.html Think you know which city is the world's most visited? If you guessed London, New York or Paris, you would have guessed wrong. According to the recently released Global Destinations Cities Index by MasterCard, an Asian city tops the list of having the most international visitor arrivals in 2013. The winning city narrowly inched out London, the top spot in 2012, for the No. 1 spot by 200,000 visitors. This year is the first time since the launch of the Index in 2010 that an Asian city came in at No. 1. And the winner is: Bangkok. The capital of Thailand, according to the Index, posted 18 percent growth rates in the past two years. Two years ago, Bangkok ranked No. 3 on the Index...
