France, which started just above 30 million, went up to the starting point of America at the same time, placed in the top reaching equally nearly 90 million arrivals over the time period. Malaysia also made high results starting beyond 20 million and taking the third place by a total of nearly 50 million by 2010.
Regarding the remaining two countries, Brazil and Egypt both began the period with the lowest visitor numbers, starting marginally below 10 million in 1995.

By 2010, the number of tourists in Egypt had risen to just above 15 million, whereas Brazil saw a more modest increase, ending the period with roughly 12 million arrivals.
