This is perhaps the first time that a Western Europe destination did not make it to the list, and that is primarily because of safety concerns (many see Australia as safer destination, compared to Europe).
Asian travelers are also becoming more sophisticated, and no longer travel primarily for fast-paced sightseeing (and taking pictures) and luxury shopping.
