As several countries introduce measures to deter tourists, other destinations have been named as the most welcoming in the world for foreign visitors.
Tourists have picked up a bit of a bad reputation in recent years. Whether it's a daily fee to access Venice, a screen to block Mount Fuji or an expensive tourist tax in Amsterdam, several top destinations have taken measures to reduce the number of tourists visiting.
