	I typed in "and" (guessing "Andorra") but it triggered "St Kitts and Nevis". You should fix that bug.

	Nice quiz, Flick. I think you misread the figure for Iceland it should be 1,141,000, which probably would put it out of the bottom five.

	@EuphrasieF: I double slashed !! @citkeane: oops and corrected. Thanx both

	Looks like Nauru and East Timor aren't listed in your source, because I'd imagine both would be very low.

	@carbon_rod: I tracked down the data and they are low and hence included.

	As far as I can see, South Sudan is also not listed in your source, so perhaps add that to your note for Africa.

	I was amazed that over 262,000 people visit Kosovo every year until I checked the source and found that there is no data listed for Kosovo.

	You know you must be on Sporcle when 70% of people guess Nauru.

	Thanx for the comments. I've updated, though a few things (like the Kosovo data) are quite elusive and/or the data varies widely, though it would almost be certain that Kosovo would be in the top five based on the snippets I've read.

	So... more people visit North Korea than Nauru? OK...?

	A really interesting quiz, even though I did so so badley - my inability to spell means I could really use much longer x

	Bober:	Dec 7th, 2012 at 01:18 GMT		-2 points
	Interesting quiz. Some results were quite surprising. Also a bit tough, especially because of time, but rightfully so. Just a little correction: French Guiana is actually incorporated territory of France.

	danielisaac09--you'd be surprised. i was one of the 1500 westerners who visited north korea in 2011. as the quiz says, there are quite a few chinese tourists who visit the north regularly. in fact there exists a very basic tourist infrastructure in north korea. hotels in pyongyang have chinese restaurants among their options and chinese currency is widely accepted. check out koryo tours for info on north korea and another popular spot, turkmenistan. highly, highly recommended!

	Timor-Leste doesn't seem like it should be considered to be in Asia but I looked and that's how the UN considers it. Interesting.

	@gummi: I wouldn't mind going to North Korea some day. I'd just be so curious what it's like there (although I'd better learn Korean first). They're so isolated, it must be very strange. How was it to be a Westerner there? Were people accepting of you?

	I know space is limited, but from the title I was expecting, literally, 'Fewest tourists by continent' and figured, "easy, gotta be Antarctica' :) Would be nice to somehow include 'countries' in the title.

	@gummi: Wouldn't it be scary to be in the world's most notorious dictatorship? @ari18: I'm not curious. Remembering Kim Jong-Il and his creepy granny glasses scare me away.

	considering the attempted indoctrination of their citizens, i was surprised to be as warmly welcomed as i was; offered to share in beer and BBQ at a local park, quizzed as to why i wanted to visit, genuinely interested in the portrayal of NK in our media, etc. to be taught that americans (along w south koreans and japanese) are imperialist bastards and stooges, to have locals express their interest in visiting america? yeah, that was surprising. friendly people, though. don't let the media guide your mind. it's a fascinating place full of nice people. they just happen to be run by some loons.

	forgot to add--dancing with local women in a park on a sunday (their only off day). guys playing korean instruments and drums while couples danced in a pavilion. as i was checking out the drums, a woman reached to ask me to dance with her. i accepted--something i would never do at home--and it wound up being the best 5 or 10 minutes of the trip.

	2000 tourists to Tuvalu every year? Wow, hotel occupation must be 100% then, provided they only have one hotel in the whole country! (true fact!). I would like to be one of these lucky 2000...

	I was surprised at how few people visit Comoros. I had thought that given its location it would be a warm and tropical popular tourist destination, rather like Mauritius and Seychelles. Apparently not, however.

	I got North Korea and then my mind blanked. Great quiz.

	So more than 20,000 visit Iraq each year? I know a few backpackers have started heading to the relatively safe Kurdish-controlled area in the north, but I'm surprised it's enough to take it out of the bottom five. Also surprised at the absence of Bhutan, given how hard it is to get a visa for.

	Flick:	Dec 14th, 2012 at 14:48 GMT		1 point
	@ChileNoseJam: FYI- Iraq 1,518,000 (2010 figure) and Bhutan 37,000 see link

	I had the most trouble with North America. I tried Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Cuba and Haiti and then was stumped. I know so many people who have gone to Belize that I never would have guessed that one.

	I just read the wikipedia entry for San Marino: "The tourist sector contributes over 2.2% of San Marino's GDP, with approximately 2 million tourists visiting in 2009." Strange!

	It seem seem the good work of the Kyrgyzstan Tourist Board (aka Sporcle) is finally paying off!!

	skye_eg:	Apr 18th, 2013 at 17:42 GMT		1 point
	@SweetAsPi: My guess is that those "2 million people" don't stay in San Marino overnight, so they're not counted by official WTO figures which only count overnight hotel stays (visitors that spend at least one night at a hotel in the country) and cruise visitors. Wikipedia makes the "2 million" claim as well, with a citation provided in Italian, but mentions that most visitors to SM come for a half-day...which would make sense. If you look at pictures of SM, there's no way the country has enough hotels to house 2 million visitors a year (which comes out to about 5,500 people a day if all those people only stay one night).
