COMMENTARY     

Dilbert (Andorra)
24th May 2006



It needs to be updated, number 2 spot is since 2002 Spain.
Nick (USA)
25th July 2006
These stats are wrong, or at least out dated by more than 5 years. Cuba had over 2,000,000 tourists last year.
Tolga (Turkey)
8th September 2006
Yes, absolutely out of date. Maybe it's coming from 1992-94. Must be more careful.
Timothy Carter (North Carolina, US)
22nd March 2007
I have to agree with the other comments that these stats don't seem to be even close. I thought I would enter this comment to ask if anyone knows of a list that is relatively accurate.
Neil (England)
22nd April 2007
Switzerland and the Netherlands aren't on the list either for some reason.
Roger (Windsor, England)
25th April 2007
Iceland had 400,000 tourists in 2006. It says hear they had 202,000.
Daniel Demirdjian (Turkey)
23rd November 2007
Turkey had 19,8 million tourists in 2006 which was actually 6,2 percent less than 2005.
