52 out of 55. Decent quiz, I enjoyed that. Thought the Hell pit was in Uzbekistan for some reason. I thought the island of spice was Cuba… Idiot Knew Callanish was Scottish but answered as Ireland when doing the quiz.

That’s a great effort Craig, well done!

I didn’t do too well, but enjoyed it a lot. Just one small point: Germany’s flag is made up of the colours red, black and gold, not yellow. It dates back to the Prussian resistance against Napoleonic rule. Volunteer soldiers wore black uniforms with red buttons and golden trimmings. The colours became a symbol of freedom and nation. Thanks for the great quiz.

Thanks for the comment Jean. I’m glad you enjoyed the quiz, and it’s always good to have a bit more background information on Germany!

@Jean, Good photograph took. Thank you.

Santosh Saha

That was really fun idea. Although I didn’t do well on your test but it was actually really fun to learn new things about the world.

Hope to see your coming blog. Thanks for the post.

@Pradip Karki, Send me more quizzes. Thank you.

Kentucky Tourism Continues Record-Setting Pace in 2023 With Nearly $14 Billion in Economic Impact

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear says the state's tourism industry stayed on its record-setting pace in 2023

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky 's tourism industry stayed on its record-setting pace in 2023, generating an economic impact approaching $14 billion while sustaining nearly 100,000 jobs, Gov. Andy Beshear said Thursday.

Travelers visiting the Bluegrass State last year spent $9.7 billion as tourism continued its post-pandemic momentum as a key contributor to Kentucky's growing economy, the Democratic governor said.

“We’re welcoming people to our new Kentucky home, one filled with opportunity and prosperity," Beshear said during his weekly news conference. "Where we want you to come see what we have to offer, and then we want you to move your family here to be a part of it.”

The governor joined tourism leaders at Castle & Key Distillery to celebrate the second straight record-breaking year for tourism in Kentucky. In 2022, the tourism sector bounced back from the COVID-19 pandemic to generate an economic impact of nearly $13 billion and was responsible for 91,668 jobs.

Last year was even better, with the statewide tourism industry producing $13.8 billion in economic impact and the sector sustained 95,222 jobs, Beshear said. The study by Tourism Economics determined that 79.3 million travelers visited Kentucky in 2023, up 4.5% from the prior year, he said.

Kentucky's attractions include horse farms and bourbon distilleries as well as outdoor adventure, history, arts and cultural draws. Kentucky is also home to Mammoth Cave National Park.

Bourbon tourism is flourishing, with attendance surpassing 2.5 million visitors last year along the Kentucky Bourbon Trail and the Kentucky Bourbon Trail Craft Tour, which showcases smaller distilleries. Bourbon tourists tend to spend more and stay longer compared to other attractions, the bourbon industry says.

“With distilleries now in 42 counties, bourbon tourism is resurrecting Main Streets across the commonwealth and pouring much-needed revenue into local coffers. And there’s more to come,” said Eric Gregory, president of the Kentucky Distillers’ Association.

Spirit makers have invested big sums into new or expanded visitor centers to play up the industry’s heritage and allow guests to soak in the sights and smells of bourbon-making.

Communities across Kentucky registered robust tourism numbers last year.

Beshear said tourism generated $4.2 billion of economic impact last year in Jefferson County, which includes Louisville, the state's largest city. In Boone, Campbell and Kenton counties — just south of Cincinnati — the combined economic impact of tourism was $2.1 billion, he said. It was $1.6 billion in Fayette County, home to Lexington, the state's second-largest city. In Warren County, tourism brought in $477 million of economic impact, and in McCracken County it generated $319 million.

State Tourism Commissioner Mike Mangeot thanked tourism officials statewide for their role in the sector's success, along with the thousands of leisure and hospitality industry workers. The tour guides, restaurant workers, hotel desk clerks and others are “the frontline ambassadors,” he said.

16.8 million visitors: Why Nashville's record-breaking tourism industry keeps growing

• The number of people visiting Nashville is expected to reach 17.5 million by 2025.
• The majority of travelers are classified as leisure, but convention and business travel demand is strong.

Nashville's tourism industry in 2023 broke yet another record.

Visitor spending last year came in at a whopping $10.56 billion, which is about a 6% increase from 2022. That's according to an analysis by the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. published this week.

“We don’t take our destination’s success for granted and, in our planning, we work not only on today and tomorrow, but also next year and next decade to keep our industry growing," said NCVC President and CEO Deana Ivey in a news release.

The NCVC forecasted that tourism growth will continue through 2027, when yearly visitors are expected to climb to 18.1 million people.

Here's what you should know about Nashville's tourism industry.

How many tourists visit Nashville each year?

The city saw a record 16.8 million visitors in 2023, up 4% from 2022, which saw 16.2 million visitors.

Forecasts by the NCVC show 17.1 million visitors in 2024 and 17.5 million the following year in 2025.

Of the 16.8 million visitors in 2023, 11.2 million are overnight visitors and 5.6 million are day visitors. Of those staying overnight, 7.9 million stayed in hotels, 1.2 million in short-term rentals and 2 million with friends and family, according to the NCVC.

Why are tourists visiting Nashville?

According to estimates from Tourism Economics, an Oxford Economics company, 64% of visitors are leisure travelers, while 36% come for conventions and business reasons.

Cvent, an event planning and marketing company, recently named Nashville third in North America for conventions and large meetings, behind Orlando, Florida and Las Vegas, Nevada.

Several Nashville hotels were also ranked highly by Cvent as top meeting destinations. Nashville's Grand Hyatt and Omni Hotels earned the number one and number two spots, respectively. The Nashville JW Marriott claimed the fourth spot, while the city's Renaissance was ranked fifth.

Blockbuster weekends like the Taylor Swift Era's Tour Nashville leg in 2023 and Morgan Wallen's recent tour stop at Nissan Stadium serve as tentpoles for the city's tourism industry. May 3 and 4 , supported by Wallen's concerts, Predator's playoffs, college commencements and more, constituted a record-breaking weekend for hotel room bookings with more than 75,000 rooms sold.

Will Nashville tourism slow down in 2024?

National tourism trends forecast slowing leisure travel spending as people become more budget conscious amid a slowing economy, according to Tourism Economics.

In the immediate years following the pandemic, "revenge travel" surged as people tried to make up for lost time during the COVID-19 pandemic. By some estimates, that trend is slowing down.

Convention and business travel demand remains strong in Nashville, a city that outpaces the rest of the country and competitor cities, according to the NCVC. Even as visitor growth begins to stabilize, there are currently more than 2,000 hotel rooms under construction in Nashville, with a total of 13,000 in the pipeline.

• All Regions

China has recovered its position as top spender on international tourism in 2023 as Asia and the Pacific consolidates its recovery from the impacts of the pandemic. In 2022, the list of top spenders was headed by the United States. France, Spain and USA took the top spots for most-visited destinations.

Top Tourism Spenders in 2023 

Chinese expenditure on travel abroad reached USD 196.5 billion in 2023, ahead of the United States (USD 150 billion), Germany (USD 112 billion), the United Kingdom (USD 110 billion) and France (USD 49 billion). Making up the top ten spenders for 2023 are Canada, Italy, India, the Russian Federation and the Republic of Korea. India jumped to 8th place, from 14th in 2019, confirming the growing importance of the country as a source market, while Italy rose from 10th to 7th position. 

Top in arrivals and receipts: France, Spain and USA consolidate their positions 

France consolidated its position as the world’s most visited destination in 2023 with 100 million international tourist arrivals. Spain was second with 85 million, followed by the United States (66 million), Italy (57 million) and Türkiye, which closed the top five with 55 million international tourists.  

Completing the top ten most visited destinations in 2023 are Mexico, the United Kingdom, Germany, Greece and Austria. Compared to before the pandemic, Italy, Türkiye, Mexico, Germany and Austria all rose one position, while the United Kingdom rose from 10th to 7th and Greece from 13th to 9th. 

On the side on international tourism receipts, the ranking is led by the United States, earning USD 176 billion in 2023, followed by Spain (USD 92 billion), the United Kingdom (USD 74 billion), France (USD 69 billion) and Italy (USD 56 billion). 

Following the above, destinations earning the most from international tourism in 2023 include the United Arab Emirates, Türkiye, Australia, Canada, Japan, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Macao (China), India and Mexico which complete the top 15 list of tourism earners.  

Upward movements in the ranking among the top earners include the UK jumping to the 3rd position from 5th pre-pandemic, the United Arab Emirates from 13th to 6th, Türkiye from 12th to 7th, Canada from 15th to 9th, Saudi Arabia from 27th to 12th, and Mexico from 17th to 15th.  

Croatia (from 32nd to 25th), Morocco (from 41st to 31st) and the Dominican Republic (43rd to 34th) also moved up in the Top 50 ranking by receipts in 2023, as did Qatar (from 51st to 37th) and Colombia (50th to 44th). 

Looking ahead to a full recovery globally in 2024 

As per the latest World Tourism Barometer , in 2023 international tourist arrivals recovered 89% of 2019 levels and 97% in Q1 2024. UN Tourism’s projection for 2024 points to a full recovery of international tourism with arrivals growing 2% above 2019 levels, backed by strong demand, enhanced air connectivity and the continued recovery of China and other major Asian markets. 

Total export revenues from international tourism, including both receipts and passenger transport, reached an estimated USD 1.7 trillion in 2023, about 96% of pre-pandemic levels in real terms. Tourism direct GDP recovered pre-pandemic levels in 2023, reaching an estimated USD 3.3 trillion, equivalent to 3% of global GDP.
