Rome and Crete took the third and fourth spot respectively. Shockingly New York, which is usually a tourist favourite place slipped out of top 10 list.

The other spots were filled by Bali in fifth spot, the Thai resort of Phuket in sixth place, Barcelona (seventh), Istanbul (eighth), Marrakech (ninth) and Dubai (tenth).
