    The importance of cities for tourism has been growing steadily for years.

    More than half of all international visitors coming to the UK visit London, with the UK’s second most-visited city, Edinburgh, attracting less than 10% of London arrivals. The Scottish capital doesn’t even scratch the top 100.

    The performance of European cities has been heavily affected by terrorism, with Brussels, Paris, Nice and Istanbul all registering impacted performances.

    Heraklion, the capital of relatively stable Crete, is 2017’s biggest European winner, registering 11.2% growth and moving three places up the rankings to 66.

    New York, with 13.1 million visitors expected in 2017, and Miami, with 8 million predicted, were the most popular cities in the Americas with international visitors.

    The United States dominated the rankings among cities in the Americas but “global unease” following Donald Trump’s arrival in the White House makes future performance uncertain.

    The cities showing the strongest growth in 2017 were all outside of the United States, with Cancun, Toronto, Mexico city, Vancouver and Punta Cana leading the way.

    While the United States remains the largest source market, Mexico is becoming increasing popular with visitors from Europe and Asia.
