1.Times Square,New York City
This Manhattan crossroads of commerce is the top spot on our list,thanks to increasing visitors to the Big Apple in 2008 despite the economic turndown.According to statistics,“80% of visitors to NYC make it a point to visit Times Square.”Total NYC visits last year were 47 million,giving us an estimate of 37.6 million travelers through the“Crossroads of the World”.
2.The Las Vegas Strip,Nev.
The“Neon Trail”that makes up the heart of Sin City is also part of the federal government's National Scenic Byways Program,which designates roads based on “archeological,cultural,historic,natural,recreational and scenic qualities”.Hard to say which of these qualities best describes Vegas,but we can disqualify“natural”.Last year,total visitors to Las Vegas numbered 37.5 million;a poll by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority found that an average of 80% of visitors had either stayed overnight or gambled(赌博)on the Strip.
3.National Mall and Memorial Parks,Washington,D.C.
Many of the nation's iconic(图标的)public landmarks are found in the 1,000-plus acres of the National Mall and Memorial Parks,including the Washington Monument,the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials,and the Korean and Vietnam War Veterans memorials.The Smithsonian Institution's 19 museums are also close to the Mall;last year,the network of free museums drew more than 25 million visitors.
