10.) Canada

Canada fared well in the infrastructure category and earned the top mark for air transportation infrastructure. The country also scored well in the categories of natural resources and cultural resources, and human resources/labor market. But like many on the top ten list, it scored low for price competitiveness. People take pictures of illuminated cherry trees in full blossom at the Chidorigafuchi moat in Tokyo on March 31, 2015.

4.) United States

With a record 74 million international visitors in 2014, the United States was the highest ranked county in the Americas. The U.S. earned high marks in natural and cultural resources and air transportation infrastructure. It also has a competitive business environment. However, restrictive visa requirements earned low marks for travel facilitation. The U.S. also could improve in the areas of safety and security, ground transportation, and environmental sustainability.

2.) France

France’s natural and cultural resources continue to attract the most tourists of any county with more than 84 million annual arrivals by international tourists. The country also ranks high in infrastructure and overall tourism-enabling environment. But France could use further improvement in the business environment and safety and security categories.
