As far as numbers goes and dollar values I believe Macau surged ahead of Las Vegas for Gambling(only place in China where it is legal).Aswell Macau is an awesome little city rich with Portuguese heritage/culture/architecture!

Aswell it would be interesting to see various tourist numbers for several different Chinese cities.

The reason people travel to Mexico more than Canada would be .. I suspect .. because of .. warm weather. It's the main reason many older Canadians spend the winter months in Florida.

Exactly. And the dollar goes far there.

Anyways, speaking of violence in Mexico, apparently an American got hit from a stray bullet on the US side of the border from a gun fight that took place on the Mexican side.
