Singapore<\/a> is the fourth most visited city in the world<\/strong>, with 17.6 million visitors in 2017. This makes it the second time in a row Singapore has snagged the fourth spot on the recently released Euromonitor's ranking of the Top 100 city destinations.<\/strong> By 2025, Singapore is also slated to overtake London<\/a> as the third-most visited city, which will make the ranking a largely Asian-dominated one.<\/p>

Owing to the rise in demand of Chinese outbound tourism, the list sees a domination of Asian cities <\/a>in its ranking. Asian cities are increasingly making it way onto the list; from 34 cities in 2010 to 41 cities in 2016.<\/p>

The reason behind this? Its proactive in harnessing their smart city efforts. On the other hand, the travel landscape in Europe<\/a> has been affected by events like Brexit and terrorist attacks. For instance, Paris dropped in ranking following its two high-profile attacks in 2015.<\/p>

Scroll through the gallery above for the top 10 most visited cities of 2017<\/strong>!<\/p>
