Thanks ;) They actually have many popular ski resorts and tourism is relatively large. They claim to have 3,1 - 10,2 million visitors annually.

Never considered Monaco. I would think Monte Carlo has a great deal of tourists between the casinos, the Riviera, and the Grand Prix.

Indeed. At least in terms of surface area, the majority of the urban area of Monaco is actually across the border in France, and a good chunk of the population is as well.

I think most visitors of Monaco have a holiday accomodation in France or Italy, because hotels are incredibly expensive in Monaco.

also with a population of about 38000, this represents about 3% of the population coming in to stay per day which is actually pretty high.

monaco also is very expensive so that also narrows down the group of people who are able to go to monaco

The Vatican has precisely zero hotels. Rezidenca Paolo VI comes closest, because the border is just outside its front door, but I suspect the number of overnight visits would consist of the bishops who drop by. The number of day visitors would be slightly more, though.

Exactly. So it should be top of the table. Its overnight visitors per year would probably number in the dozens only.

I realise it would be hard to measure, but it would be interesting to know which countries are least visited overall, as opposed to those which are presumably just too small to merit staying for very long.

If Kosovo is not listed, it must be grouped in with Serbia, and since Serbia is here, then Kosovo must be here as well. Kosovo's 2016 Statistical Yearbook lists the following number of visitors: 2013 50,000, 2014 61,000, 2015 79,000, which you can probably extrapolate to about 110,000 for 2017. Not all of this figure would come from Serbia's total because many tourists will have visited both, and visitors between Serbia and Kosovo won't have registered at all. (Albania, then Germany, provided most visitors in 2015; Serbia came 10th with 2600. If that sounds few, that was a steady, and large percentage, increase on the 195 Serbian overnighters in 2012).

Even if it's grouped with Serbia, Serbia doesn't have the data for its Kosovo part. Though I agree Kosovo very likely belongs on this list.

This is counting all overnight visitors, not only sightseers. There is a lot of business going on between Russia and Belarus and also other countries, and families visiting. While Monaco very likely has more (ordinary) tourists than Belarus, but many don't stay the night, or they stay outside its tiny expensive borders.

Monaco is part of a densely populated area with very good transport links - the French and Italian Rivieras are more-or-less right next to Monaco, so there are plenty of other places to stay near by. Lots of people visit Monaco for the day (the railway station is very busy!) so there's no need for large numbers to stay overnight in Monaco itself.

Hotels in Monaco are very expensive, so most people stay on the French side and, in some cases, they can even walk to Monaco.

So people refrain from visiting Serbia.. interesting. I personally think Belgrade is one of the nicest cities in the Balkans. Then again, I'm guessing many westerners are biased against the country or might be reluctant to visit due to the situation with Kosovo.

Yes! Montenegro is situated on the very beauuuutiful Adriatic Coast, not very far from Dubrovnik, Croatia, which is now a hotbed of tourism thanks to Game of Thrones. Travelers coming that far would do well to pop down to Montenegro while they're in the neighborhood, and clearly many are doing just that! Plus, Montenegro didn't have the whole military / instability issues that Kosovo has; their "divorce" from Serbia was amicable.

That's correct. I were in Montenegro that summer and I can recommend this country. Another plus is that Euro is a currency.

I'm surprised about Albania/Serbia/Kosovo. I grew up in a Connecticut city just a few blocks from the Albanian mosque and the large diasporic community who established it were always coming and going from the region.

excluding the Vatican which obviously makes sense being on this list as the tourists are all sleeping in Rome, I think I would probably agree that Bosnia is the most worthwhile destination here. I enjoyed both Kosovo and San Marino, but a day trip would probably cut it for both of them.

Did anyone else here make the mistake of thinking "Vatican City gets a bunch of tourists, I highly doubt it'll show up on this list" while forgetting that it was specifically about overnight stays and not just visits? Because I certainly did.

Vatican and Monaco were my first two guesses, having been to both and knowing that I tried to stay in Monaco but it was extortionate, so I stayed in Nice overnight and did the day-trip. Same with Vatican City and Rome.

They probably don't have records on it. Also, the caveats state "fewest overnight international visitors in 2017", I don't imagine there's too much lodging in the Vatican.
