Tokyo leads the 2025 ranking, but the larger pattern is concentration: a small top tier of Asian, European, and Middle Eastern destinations absorbs an outsized share of international overnight arrivals.
This chart is built from the explicit top-20 ranking figures stated in the article’s “Highlights of the Global Top 100 Destinations” section. The article contains a few later spot-value inconsistencies for some destinations, so this view follows the ranked snapshot rather than the later growth callouts. The Turkey methodology note in the article also means Antalya and Istanbul should be read as 2025 overnight-stay destinations, not a directly unchanged historical series.
