Paris is the best city destination this year. Prague finished eleventh
Europe dominates the first ten places in the ranking. In addition to Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Madrid, Rome, London, Munich, and Barcelona were ranked third to ninth. The second best city destination is Dubai and the tenth is New York.
According to Euromonitor, the French capital is the world’s best destination, thanks to how it performs in the field of tourism, tourist infrastructure, but also within other important pillars.
Europe dominates
In general, Europe performed best in the ranking, unlike Asia, which, because it finished second, has practically recovered its tourism this year.
In contrast, some Asian destinations did not open to foreign tourists until summer or autumn. In pre-covid times, the largest continent, specifically Hong Kong and Bangkok, dominated the analysis. But then the number of arrivals of international guests was taken into account.

Travel
“While 2022 was a positive year for the travel sector, the road to post-pandemic recovery is long and government support remains key across all regions,” Euromonitor said of the rankings. The company named inflation, deteriorating economic conditions or the war in Ukraine as factors that can slow down tourism growth.
