	I could be mistaken, but I think it's Rio DE Janeiro.

	You're right. My mistake. Corrected.

	Please accept Macao as an alternate spelling.

	I need to get out more. I've never heard of many of these places.

	It does concern me that Bangkok is the third most visited city on earth.

	dajop:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 05:11 GMT		7 points
	I must say I wonder about the source, as I am really surprised that Wellington NZ is on the list and Melbourne, AUS is not. Just doesn't seem to make a lot sense. Other than that good game

	R0B1S:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 08:16 GMT		2 points
	Added alternative spellings that were suggested.

	rm321:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 10:34 GMT		6 points
	Antalya no. 7 above Hong Kong, Rome, Prague, Vienna, LA etc??

	R0B1S:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 10:38 GMT		0 points
	Antalya is one of the world's and the Mediterranean's leading tourism destinations, the city being home to an array of famous attractions. It attracts 30% of foreign tourists visiting Turkey. It has 72 five-star hotels more than any other city in the world. That's from wikipedia. So, it doesn't surprise me.

	joebobs:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 12:14 GMT		0 points
	In regard to Magic1's comment, don't accept New Delhi for Delhi, as they are entirely separate cities. If you want to accept Calcutta for Kolkata/Kolkatta, you can, but it's not sporcle standard (sporclers are expected to know of the name change which took place 9 years ago. Nice quiz!

	mukaltin:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 15:33 GMT		2 points
	Accept Sankt Peterburg and Kyiv please

	I am deeply dubious about this source. I highly doubt that there are three Turkish cities that more people visit than Tokyo.

	johnlk:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 16:59 GMT		7 points
	I do not even slightly believe in this list.

	sportsguyluke:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 17:02 GMT		4 points
	Yeah, I think your source is less than reliable. That being said, you just transcribe their information. And sir, this quiz is (in my opinion) the epitome of Sporcle transcribing.

	R0B1S:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 17:04 GMT		1 point
	Here is the real source : http://www.euromonitor.com/Euromonitor_Internationals_Top_City_Destination_Ranking For each city there is even count of visitors listed. Of course it can't be 100% accurate, but i do think that it's pretty believable information and ranking is pretty much how it should be.

	Onno:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 18:56 GMT		10 points
	I actually think this list may not be so untrue after all. We Sporclers would generally prefer a geographically or historically important destination for our holidays, but a lot of people just want to go to the sun for not too much money.

	flixuk:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 20:42 GMT		0 points
	accept Bombay, Madras, Canton and Peking.

	peterpan55:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 21:01 GMT		3 points
	Nice quiz! To echo Onno a bit, I'm sure if this quiz was called "Places Americans (or Canadians)Go for Vacation," it would look a lot different. But don't assume that just because a place isn't a popular tourist destination for most of those taking this quiz, that it isn't for the rest of the world. For example Marrakech, Morocco is a bustling trade center that many North Africans visit yearly and only 18% of sporclers guessed it.

	I am absolutely baffled (also, unbelieving) that Vatican City isn't on the list.

	R0B1S:	Aug 30th, 2010 at 18:01 GMT		4 points
	Well, it is quite possible than Vatican City is counted as part of Rome in this ranking.

	France:	Aug 30th, 2010 at 21:52 GMT		2 points
	I have a hard time believing that Antalya is the 7th most visited city in the world. I was there a year ago and it wasn't exactly packed with millions of people.

	quizbear:	Aug 31st, 2010 at 14:30 GMT		2 points
	whats the source of data for this list?

	hellofromUK:	Aug 31st, 2010 at 21:13 GMT		3 points
	I'm sure Antalya is high up, but definitely not number 7 in the world. It attracts 30% of tourists visiting Turkey. This means that Istanbul should definitely have the lion's share and be ranked much higher than Antalya. If you also look at the international passenger traffic for major airports, Antalya (AYT) isn't in the top 20 yet.

	JayZed:	Sep 1st, 2010 at 10:37 GMT		3 points
	Please accept Hurghada.

	Mayan:	Sep 1st, 2010 at 14:50 GMT		-2 points
	Why then would Vatican City be counted as Rome? It's not even the same country after all. Strange list indeed.

	JayZed:	Sep 2nd, 2010 at 18:06 GMT		7 points
	It's quite logical for Vatican City to be counted as part of Rome in a list that relates to the tourism industry, given that the hotels, shops and other businesses benefitting from the tourism visits are in Rome. It's also quite clear that VC is included in Rome given that Rome is mentioned under the heading "Religious tourism shows resilience". Unless that's a reference to all the visitors going to Rome to worship Jupiter.

	What is the most visited city in Turkey? I (c)antalya! /lame joke

	pator:	Jan 25th, 2011 at 16:44 GMT		-1 points
	Providing the country makes it too easy

	Turbochrissie:	Mar 16th, 2011 at 09:57 GMT		1 point
	You have spelt Hurghada wrong (missing the h)

	Colmar:	Aug 12th, 2011 at 17:28 GMT		2 points
	As a Canadian, I don't exactly imagine more people visiting Calgary than Frankfurt, Chicago or Honolulu. Canadian tourism alone, I would imagine that Ottawa is visited more than Calgary, especially because it is between Montreal and Toronto.

	Mcourtney:	Dec 1st, 2011 at 14:05 GMT		1 point
	Hurghada please. Otherwise, enjoyable.

	pottedstu:	Dec 3rd, 2011 at 22:04 GMT		1 point
	"Why then would Vatican City be counted as Rome?" Perhaps because tourists tend not to stay in the Vatican. "This means that Istanbul should definitely have the lion's share" Not true: most tourists going to Turkey don't go through Istanbul, they fly to Dalaman or somewhere else, and then sit in the sun.
