The makers of that list sure were trippin on something to put OC as another name for LA. And we don't even know exactly what their intentions were with OC, if they meant ti include LA with that or not...
How weird would it be if LA was down the line somewhere in the top 20 instead of 10, highly doubtful though.
But wait................................where's SanFran?

Let it go. This thread is not about foreign tourism
Again, it will be ok.
Maybe so, but IMHO it is a better list provided by the US Dept of Commerce. It gives a better idea of what tourists and visitors might WANT to see versus a Forbes list with includes numbers by heavy business and convention traveling.
Not to mention, I am not so sure about Forbes lists anyway.

I agree, I see a lot of inconsistency in many of Forbes lists. Most times their list is always full of a few surprises that seem to be a bit sketch.
I always go with the official stats. Forbes = Not official, MHO.
