Over 500 million tourists visit Europe every year, but which of its 44 countries do they choose to go to?

GlobalData, an analytics and consulting company, has compiled the numbers to find out which is the most visited country in Europe.

France has often claimed the top spot over the years, and now it is also set to regain its title as the most visited country in the world, writes Euronews.

What is the most visited country in the world?

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, France was the most visited country in the world, attracting 88.1 million visitors in 2019, according to GlobalData.

Spain claimed the top spot in 2021, but France is on track to overtake it, having welcomed 66.6 million international visitors in 2022.

"Next to Italy and Spain, France represents an important growth segment in Western Europe," says Hannah Free, travel and tourism analyst at GlobalData.

"The country is not only popular with travelers from Europe itself - particularly the UK, Germany and Belgium - but is also popular with visitors from further afield, including China and the United States."

GlobalData reports that the number of international arrivals to France is expected to grow at an annual rate of 12.1 percent between 2022 and 2025.

The company has predicted that France will attract around 93.7 million international travelers annually by 2025, cementing its title as the world's most visited country.

Why is France a popular destination for tourists?

One of the most attractive things about France is its transport, according to GlobalData.

Traveling between major cities is relatively easy, with high-speed train connections.

France is also well connected to other European countries via long-distance trains even at night.

The new sleeper trains to be launched this year will take passengers from Paris to Vienna, Berlin and Milan, while in 2024 the French capital will also be connected to Barcelona.

What is the second most popular country in the world to visit?

Spain is close to France in the ranking of the most visited countries in the world.

While all countries saw a drop in visitor numbers during the COVID-19 pandemic, Spain managed to beat France to the top spot by welcoming 26.3 million visitors.

It will follow France in attracting more tourists in the coming years.

In 2025, Spain is expected to attract 89.5 million international visitors, according to GlobalData.

"Visit to France and Spain will remain strong in the coming years, with festivals, culture and gastronomy a major draw for tourists," says Free.

“Both countries have a lot to offer tourists, with their own unique cultures, cuisines and atmospheres. Both countries are also relatively large, with a diverse and diverse landscape. Also, each country has a unique bgredet".
