Newsroom June 4 10:12

London still reigns supreme on the annual MasterCard Global Destinations Cities Top 10 Index, although Asian cities are catching up.
Bangkok remains number two with 18.24 million international overnight visitors and is catching up to the British capital.

The MasterCard Index of Global Destination Cities ranks cities in terms of the number of their total international overnight visitor arrivals and the cross-border spending by these same visitors in the destination cities, and gives visitor and passenger growth forecasts for 2015.

Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Seoul and Hong Kong round off the top 10, taking seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth place respectively. Driven by insights into travel patterns, the Global Destinations Cities Index provides a ranking of the 132 most visited cities from around the world. The Index provides an understanding of how people move around the world and the importance of the world’s cities as homes, destinations and engines of growth.
