LOL, that us SOMEWHAT true. BUT then again Anaheim, and Ft.Lauderdale receive a GOOD amount of foreign tourist themselves. Anaheim because of Disney Land, and Ft.Lauderdale because of it's beaches.

Well here is a list of the most visited US cities by foreigners. I don't know how credible it is, but here it goes. Also it says Disney World has been visited by every nation on Earth. Interesting.

I think it depends on where the foreign person is from. If a person is from Australia, that list makes sense. If that person were from Latin America, no way Miami would be that low.

How did Memphis end up that high? Graceland?

So true. I guess Memphis would be because of Elvis and it's where MLK was shot. And I agree about Miami. As a matter of fact if that list was from someone from Europe Miami DEFINITELY wouldn't be that low.

Well I couldn't list 20, but from my experience:

1. New York
2. Washington D.C.
3. Miami
4. Los Angeles
5. Atlanta

Another thing I've noticed is that most foreigners have never heard of Maryland .

But at least they heard of DC.

I think it's strange that San Francisco isn't making it on so many lists when pretty much every person I've met abroad knew of it.

i think phildelphia shouls be higher on the list
