vinapu Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 while wholeheartedly I agree with Thailand top position, rest is bit questionable - relatively low place of India or Italy with relation to Greece, absence of Mexico , USA , Spain , France , Turkey and UK and prominent position of Emirates makes me wonder. Truth is , always those types of rankings produce results questionable results. Me and my travelling friends often recall similar ranking from one of luxury travel magazines in early 90 ties when Palm Springs California came on top of most desired cities to visit leaving in the dust behind Paris, Rome , Rio, Tokyo, NY and all other worthies including St.Olaf, MN reader, tm_nyc and unicorn 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and the UAE are so much more interesting than Egypt, Cambodia, France, Turkey, or the US.... 😄 That has got to be the silliest list I've ever seen. It just shows what some tourist offices are willing to pay to get on silly lists. Marc in Calif 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it is, but the post immediately above yours, to which I thought you were replying, was about "Asia's countries ranked".
