According to Euromonitor International, the top ten cities with the highest international arrivals in 2019 (pre-pandemic) all maintain their positions within the top 15 in 2023. Hong Kong stands out with the most significant increase in international trips.
Euromonitor International notes that Hong Kong’s surge is attributed to being one of the last major destinations to lift pandemic-related restrictions at the end of 2022. The city fully reopened all the checkpoints between its border and mainland China in early 2023.
