Global tourism is more popular than ever, with some countries experiencing far more visitors than others. Potential tourists may want to hit the popular spots, or they may want to avoid the crowds and find solitude. Either way, this new map from the team at Irish Dual Citizenship can help travelers pinpoint which countries see the most crowds. 
The top ten most visited countries are:
1. France
2. Poland
3. Mexico
4. United States
5. Thailand
6. Italy
7. Czech Republic
8. Spain
9. Canada
10. Hungary
The team speculates that there are a few reasons why these countries are the most popular destinations. The first factor is affordability. Many travelers are looking to have an amazing time on a budget. In the number two position, Poland emphasizes this factor because it’s the most affordable European country in terms of housing, food, and attraction prices. Mexico is also really popular due to the low prices of beautiful beachside resorts.
Other travelers prioritize safety on their travels. Some of the least visited countries on the map, like Chad, are classified as high-risk destinations due to violent crime, terrorism, and civil unrest. Most international visitors also tend to avoid active war zones.
Some destinations have universal appeal, though. France has long been viewed as the most beautiful center of culture in Europe, so despite higher prices, it claims the top spot as the most visited country in the world.
