More than 70 million people visited the City of Light this year (thanks to the Summer Olympics), and the metropolis is more than ready for them thanks to its excellent tourism policies and infrastructure, according to a report by data analytics firm Euromonitor International. The index looks at top cities around the world and ranks them according to criteria including tourism, sustainability, economic performance, health and safety, according to CNN. Europe dominates the 2024 rankings with 6 cities in the top 10. Madrid is in 2nd place, Rome and Milan are in 4th and 5th place, Amsterdam is in 7th place and Barcelona is in 10th place. In Asia, in addition to Tokyo and Singapore in the top 10, there are many other high-ranking cities such as: Taipei (11), Seoul (12), Dubai (14), Osaka (16), Bangkok (17), Hong Kong (21), Kuala Lumpur (31)...
