It would be surprising to me that Dallas would get me visitors.
Domestic I am not sure, but Houston beats DFW for overseas visitors, Mexican and Canadian visitors and business visitors. From what I have seen Houston is by far the most visited in Texas and only Orlando, Miami, and Atlanta beats it in the south.
Are the stats from the same source so it is apples to apples. Some sources eliminate Canada and Mexico, some don't.
This one shows Houston with almost twice the number of visitors. https://skift.com/
Houston is on this one ahead of San Antonio and Austin, DFW didn't make the list Best Tourist Destinations In The US - Business Insider
This list is super old but it shows Houston with 10 M more than any city in Texas: San Antonio 17th Most Visited US City
This one is for business travel, Houston is 6, DFW is 10.
I am not finding lists with DFW ahead.

Nearly 51 million domestic tourists visited Chicago last year. The city estimates that combined with international tourists, Chicago likely saw over 52 million total visitors in 2015. And to make the news even sweeter, Chicago's hotels also witnessed another record-setting year, earning an average daily room rate of $206.30. In addition, 2015 was a record year for foreign investment in Chicago.
The following points summarize recent tourism, hotel and air passenger trends for Chicago:
Hotel room demand in the Central Business District was 1,041,074 rooms occupied in September, a 6.8% increase from 974,937 rooms a year ago.
The overall average daily rate (ADR) was $242.88 in September, up from $231.15 in September 2015.
More than 3,100 new rooms are expected to open in the next two years, including the Ace Hotel (150 rooms, 2016), The Robey, Wicker Park (69 rooms, 2016), Sheraton Hotel (175 rooms, 2017), Marriott Marquis Chicago (1,200 rooms, 2017) and Viceroy Hotel (2017).
O’Hare – the world’s busiest airport in terms of flight operations – and Midway International airports served a combined 9.49 million air passengers in August 2016, a 1.3% increase over last August. Atlanta reminds top in passengers.

Chicago's Main Shopping street wins ASLA award (American Society of Landscape Architects) for the Tropical flowers planted in summer and changing Flowers by season. Since 1993, a bold strip of beautiful landscape has run down the median of Chicago’s Magnificent Mile. It spans the 33 blocks (2.3 miles) from Roosevelt Road in Chicago’s Loop up to Oak Street in the city’s Gold Coast, enlivening the prominent street with seasonal plant displays of enormous scale, color, complexity, and texture.
Your numbers for the 10 cities in tourist numbers is pretty OUTDATED.

Yes, I did acknowledge the links were okd, it's hard finding new ones. If you can find find newer lists please post.
There was no slight on Chicago in my post, in fact I did not mention it.
My post was a direct response to the poster who claimed Dallas gets more visitors than Houston. I could not find one list to support that claim. Though old, all the lists showed otherwise.

Those numbers are a bit outdated, but if they're off, I don't think they would be off by too much. I, too, tried to find a list of the most visited and the link you came up with was the most recent I could find interms of most "visited" (# of people actually going to these cities) as oppose to most "popular" (surveys/online "voting"). Wording and methodology is important. Thanks for posting the link.
