World's Top Tourist Destinations  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

World's top tourist destinations from the World Tourism Organization (www.unwto.org).

Europe is still the favorite destination. 6 of those in the top 10 are
in Europe. China emerged as the world's 4th international tourist
destination in 2005. And in Asia-Pacific, countries that are detached
from the Asia mainland (NZ, Phils., Taiwan) don't get much tourist
arrivals, compared to those in the mainland.
