How so? Rome is a pretty popular tourist destination. I would wager the percentage is actually a bit higher, but people have forgotten to list it as a separate country when they mark that they have been to Italy.

Venice is not the only thing that is a possibility for a summer vacation in the North of Italy. Most people visiting Northern Italy in the summer go to the alpine lakes of Italy which are beautiful and refreshing.

While I agree, there is a very simple explanation. Copenhagen is a hop, skip and jump from Sweden. So you get a lot of cross travel between the two. Getting to Norway from any major city in Sweden is a lot more difficult.

Norway is also crazy expensive. Not that the rest of Scandinavia is cheap, but I blew through my travel budget in Norway really quickly and didn't do anything extravagant while I was there. I imagine people close enough to Norway to travel there might do the math and reason a cheaper trip to Germany, Netherlands, etc. might be a better option.

Or, and hear me out here: US citizens travel to all kinds of different countries, including in Europe, and the combination of Americans and Europeans traveling to European countries means those countries skew toward the top?

I've only been in 4 countries so far, due to living in a not-so-rich family. I'm planning on reaching the 100 country mark eventually though! Does anyone have any suggestions regarding some less-visited countries?
kalbahamut

Level 82
Jun 7, 2019
My personal favorite less-often-visited countries include Israel, Ethiopia, Georgia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Lebanon, and Ukraine. I also loved Egypt, Thailand, Russia, Hong Kong and Japan, though, while none of those countries appear in the above rankings they all receive over 5 million tourists annually so I don't think I would call them "less-visited."

You do not have to be rich to travel! This is a common misconception. When I talk about my experiences traveling I'm always perplexed that people think that I'm bragging about being wealthy and living extravagantly. I'm not. I met people in my travels who were coming from modest families from Colombia, Trinidad, the Philippines, Sudan, Iraq, and many other places. I met people who were traveling for less than $250 a year or for free, and who had been doing this for years. Google things like shoestring travel, global nomads, Couchsurfing, food saving, workaway, rideshare, busking, hostelworld, etc. if you want to know how.

Saudiarabia is one of the most visited countries in the world. However for non-Muslims, who presumably make up the majority of the visitors to Jetpunk, the country was closed for tourism for many years. Chances are if you are from Europe or North America, you have not been to Saudiarabia. (There are always exceptions)

If you are not from Europe and are doing a tour there, you can visit plenty of countries in a few weeks...If you went to North America for a few weeks holiday, you'd probably only visit or 3 countries at most...if you live in Europe, it would be quite common to visit multiple nearby countries every year

It is believable if 45% have visited Italy. The Vatican number is about 42% of the Italy number. That makes sense. Except for nearby Europeans, most people visiting Italy probably go to Rome. Why not wander over to the Vatican while you are there? (Full disclosure: that's why I went there.)

Everything that's been said about how easy it is to travel within Europe is true (relatively close, not as expensive as other travels, no need for a VISA...). However, I still wouldn't compare it to travel within US States, as there is a greater cultural and especially linguistic barrier between many European countries. While most of my European friends have travelled extensively, I also know several French people who'd rather go to Canada than to Spain or Italy, because they're afraid of the language barrier. I'm sure there are also lots of people of the US, among those who can afford it, who don't travel because of the language barrier.

I dont think the language barrier feels as strong to most of the world as it feels to americans. Itsnot that of a big deal, I traveled to russia when I was young and could only speak portuguese and an OK english and the trip was wonderful.

I mean, obviously people get excited to travel somewhere you can speak the language, so makes sense french wanting to visit canada, but I really doubt french people would avoid travelling to italy bc of the language

What are the archetypical Euro family vacations? (for English speakers)

I can group these by (UK//Portugal/Spain/France/Lowlands/Nordic). Are international car road trips popular? Or does train/plane make the logistics & fees easier?

I'm a little confused about how to group Austria, Switzerland, Czechia, Poland, and Croatia.

I know of "dozen countries in 24 hours" types of trips.

I'm a little surprised to see the absence of Japan, China, SK, UAE, Russia, and maybe the Philippines or Thailand.

I was thinking of their aviation & languages. I'm guessing Russia has visa/language challenges. And maybe a lack of tourist industry due to distance + climate? No desire to go all the way to Moscow, just for Moscow?

I would've thought there'd be more SEA; something like Bangkok>KL>Singapore>Hanoi>Manila. Maybe it is too overwhelming to try to plan that with the language barriers. Same for Tokyo>Seoul>Vladivostok>Shanghai/Beijing.

There's only so much time & money. And easier trips to make.

Vatican City here is such a funny result. Obviously statistically it makes sense that of the ~45% of people who have lived or visited Italy, many would have gone to Rome and therefore the Vatican, but it just never crossed my mind until after the quiz. Very weird to see it up here with much much bigger tourist destinations like France or Spain.

It's clear by the comments that most people can't read. It clearly states "lived or visited" so it would be weird if Caribbean countries were on this list with such small populations.
