Hong Kong was the most visited destination of 2019 among international travelers, despite the political unrest that has rocked the city since the second half of the year.<\/p>\n

That’s according to the latest edition of the “Top 100 City Destinations 2019” report released on Tuesday by market research group Euromonitor, which looked at international arrivals over the last year.<\/p>\n

Despite experiencing a sharp decline of nine percent in international visitor arrivals this year due to violent clashes between police and anti-government protestors, Hong Kong is expected to maintain its position as the leading city of 2019.<\/p>\n

Of Hong Kong’s 26.7 million international visitors, half come from mainland China, traditionally attracted by the city’s vibrant shopping scene and strong cultural heritage, notes report author Rabia Yasmeen.<\/p>\n

In recent years, the completion of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge and the development of the high-speed rail link connecting Hong Kong to Shenzhen and Guangzhou have also led to consistent growth.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, globally, inbound visits to Asia outpaced other regions again this year: Asian cities account for 43 of the top 100 cities.<\/p>\n
