The Most Visited Countries in The World

Nobody loves visiting a boring area or country. We all love a bit of magic in the place to make it worth our while. Well, there are countries in the world known to have a lot of traffic because of what they offer their visitors.

In this post, I would be sharing countries that receive more traffic than others. They are popular because of the number of catchment areas that they offer their visitors. Below are some of them.

#1: Australia

Being both a country and a continent at the same time has always raised several eyebrows. Australia has multiple islands and one of the largest countries in the world as a whole. Australia seems to be the grossing tourist country as at March 2020, the  tourism center  recorded over 8.1 million visits.

Here are a few of the places in Australia that have recorded substantial traffic:

• Whitsunday Islands, Queensland
• Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory

Are you wondering what’s there to love about the Whitsundays?

Well, this particular area has up to 74 islands in itself. It has numerous magical beaches and private bays with white sand and turquoise water.

But that’s not all!

Now, imagine a tropical sunset rising and setting on the water. I bet you haven’t seen something this magical.

Next in Australia is the Kakadu National Park, located in the Northern Territory of Australia. Regular visitors may view this area as just a park to drive through, but that’s a front. Just like every other magical place you’ve ever been, it likes to protect itself with a little normalcy.

This place has a well-lighted body of water surrounded by rocks and other things. In this area, you would have access to waterfalls, swimming holes, billabongs, rivers, sandstone escarpments, etc.

#2: New Zealand

New Zealand is an island located by the south-western pacific oceans in Europe. As an Island, people are intrigued by the fun places that it embodies.  According to the  tourist center , the country had over 2.9 tourist in the year ending June 2020.

However, here are some of the places you may love to visit:

• Fiordland National Park and Milford Sound, South Island
• Bay of Islands, North Island.

The Fiordland National Park and Milford Sound, South Island, is a world heritage site. It is known to house some of the most breathtaking scenery in the country. This area was sculpted by the world-famous Glaciers, carving the famous fjords of Dusky, Milford, and Doubtful sounds in the process.

Visitors are given the opportunity of exploring offshore islands, gushing cascades, vast lakes, virgin rain forests, and craggy mountain heights. If you were thinking of going to New Zealand, then be ready for some mind-blowing experience.

The Bay of Islands is barely three hours away from Auckland in New Zealand. This vacation site is n of the most popular that you would find in New Zealand. You wouldn’t be wrong to call it a haven when it comes to sailing and yachting.

You get to see penguins, whales, dolphins, and even marlins live in the fertile waters in this bay. If you love fishing as well, then this spot would do you even better.  As a visitor, you can hike the countless mountain trails, sight the kayak, and enjoy the serenity of the secluded coves too.

Bay of Islands, North Island

A three-hour drive north of Auckland, the beautiful Bay of Islands, is one of the country’s most popular vacation destinations. More than 144 islands dot the glittering bay, making it a haven for sailing and yachting.

So, if you ever felt the flux of people headed to New Zealand was an overkill, this should change your mind. All the experiences do justice to your curiosity and uncertainties and even more.

#3: Costa Rica

Costa Rica is located in North America and wins the top spot as the most visited country globally with regards to tourism. According to  statistics , Costa Rica had over 1.7 million tourists in the last year.

Costa Rica is that place people love to gravitate towards one place because of all the fun places it has.

Well, when I say fun places, I mean every ounce of it. It has the:

• White Water River Rafting Class II-III from la Fortuna.
• The Small-Group Guided Sloth Seeing Tour.
• Private Montverde Cloud Forest Walk.

With the White Water River Rafting Class II-III from la Fortuna, you get the opportunity to go through the middle of the Costa Rica rain forest. This unbeatable adventure gives you that great feeling of doing something new.

If you want something that would get your blood pumping, then wait till you get to paddle through the class II and III rapids. At the White Water River Rafting, you are allowed to swim through the reserved waters and enjoy the tropical ambiance along the way.

For the Small-Group Guided Sloth Seeing Tour, as a tourist, you are in for a wildlife tour of the amazing animals found in this area. People love this part of Costa Rica because they can get to see dart frogs, sloths, toucans, etc. Trust me, you would hardly find this in other regions of the world.

When on tour in this area, you are given a spotting scope, and with this, you could maximize the experience. Tourist has found their way to this area for the chills of seeing the wildlife with that much proximity offered by the scopes.

Have you always imagined what it would be like, walking through a forest? The Private Montverde Cloud Forest Walk is one of the most visited countries majorly because of this experience.

You start your experience from the Montverde with hiking down till you get to where the action takes place. Note that there is always a tour assigned to each tourist or a close-cut group while on the hike.

Conclusion

Countries like Costa Rica, New Zealand, and Australia record the most visits because of what they offer. Initially, it would be weird for them to pull that much traffic as they are not regarded as world powers. Still, it would be hard for anyone to resist visiting the countries over and again with the adventures they offer.
