2013's most visited city? It's not N.Y., London or Paris

If current travel patterns persist throughout 2013, Bangkok will overtake London as the world's most-visited international city.
That's according to the Global Destination Cities Index, a forecast issued this week by MasterCard. The 3-year-old index ranks cities in terms of international visitor arrivals of at least one overnight stay, and by the amount of money those visitors spend in the destination city.

This is the first time an Asian city [Bangkok] is in the top rank since the Index was launched in 2010.
