1. Dubai
Dubai turned out to be the most expensive city in 2016. There, tourists spent $ 28.5 billion (spending increased by 10% for a year).
2. New York
The second place is taken by New York, where tourists left $ 17 billion (+ 1.5% compared to the previous year).
3. London
The capital of Great Britain closes the top-three of the leading cities for the maximum spending. Shopping was the main part of expenditures for tourists in the city. In general, London is known as an expensive city for travelers. In May, Deutsche Bank made a list of prices for romantic, but inexpensive meetings in 47 cities around the world. Spending a day together in London will cost $ 127.9.
4. Singapore
Mastercard’s experts calculated that tourists spent $ 15.7 billion in Singapore in 2016 (0.3%). For example, each traveler leaves an average of $ 96 per night in private accommodation in Singapore. On the other hand, those wishing to see the city can save on transport - this line of expenses accounts for only 4.6% of overall spending.
5. Bangkok
Spending of tourists using Mastercard in Bangkok rose 10.9% year-on-year to $ 14 billion.
6. Paris
Travelers spent $ 12 billion in the capital of France. Accommodation is the largest expense item in Paris (44.8%). The city is the largest market in the world for Airbnb. High competition among landlords, which is supposed to restrain prices, is compensated by the fact that the company takes taxes from them at the request of the mayor's office to transfer to the budget.
7. Tokyo
Foreign tourists spent $ 11.3 billion (+ 3.7%) in Tokyo. This is one of the fastest growing cities in terms of spending travelers in the world.
8. Taipei
Travelers spent $ 9.9 billion in Taipei in 2016 (an increase of 7%).
9. Seoul
Tourists left $ 9.4 billion (+ 1.8%) in the capital of South Korea. Most of the funds in Seoul are spent on food (47%), analysts say.
10. Barcelona
Tourists spent $ 8.9 billion for the year in Barcelona (+ 7%).
