I'm shocked that Chicago is so close on the heels of New York. I knew we had a lot of tourists and conventioneers milling about here in Chicago (I see them every day), but not on THAT level. It makes me suspicious of the list. Forbes lists have proven to be pretty deficient in the past...
The 58.6 million visitors to Los Angeles are really 25.4 million overnight visitors plus 33.2 "estimated day visitors." That's very vague. If someone from Orange County goes to the Getty Museum, does that make him/her a "day visitor"? It's that even a meaningful category of people?
Ditto Scranton! I mean, like, c'mon! We have "The Office," the nation's second-largest St. Patrick's Day Parade, a giant pothole that we turned into a state park, the boyhood home of Vice-President Biden, the childhood vacation home of Hillary Clinton, a coal mine tour in a real coal mine car, a Houdini Museum, a waterfall, and a really big airport! Rumor has it that Hard Rock Cafe is expanding next into our downtown!
I would say you need to take this list with a little common sense and a grain of salt. I checked out the Forbes website on the methodology of this list. And they rely on the self reporting of the cities convention and visitors bureaus for information.

He said San Antonio, but whatever floats your boat.

Hillary Clinton as a child vacationed in Scranton?!?!?!?

You didn't hear her name-dropping "Scranton" left and right as being her "hometown" during her campaigning? Apparently any and every major celebrity to come out of the Electric City tries to distance themselves as far as possible from this "dump" until it becomes advantageous for them to capitalize upon it to showcase their "down-to-earth, wholesome, middle American roots!" (BARF! ) LOL! The Rodham family still resides on Lake Winola, a Scranton suburb, and her father is buried in a city cemetery. She and the former president dined at Cooper's, a popular city seafood restaurant shaped like a giant ship.
