You must have heard of places or countries that are most travelled to or countries that are least travelled to, however, the list that we are going to post forward today is of countries that are simply struck by the wanderlust and want to explore their own country and the regions beyond like nobody else does in the world. The reasons for their desire to travel might be varied-to name a few, high GDP, economic security, cultural desire to travel and many more-but they are definitely bitten by the travel bug and have thus earned the title of being the "well-travelled countries” across the world. Let us see the list of countries that have kept up high standards for the travelling communities across the world.

Here are Top 10 Countries Whose Citizens Travel the Most!

1. Finland

The land of a thousand lakes has certainly more than one reason to travel within their own country as well as abroad. The Timetric survey reveals that Finland is the most well-travelled country in the world, with the average Finn making 7.5 trips a year, including stays at home and abroad. Logistical data will tell you various reasons as to why Finnish people travel a lot- high incomes and low unemployment rates-but there is a cultural attribute that makes Finnish people more travel oriented. Finnish people are warm, open and sincere, something that would make them more receptive especially when they travel.

 

2. United States

According to the survey, Americans prefer to explore their own country more than understanding the world outside. The average person's number of trips verge to 6.7 a year. Even though international tourism might be limited, USA still outdoes many countries in travelling domain. Tourism experts and avid travelers attribute Americans' lack of interest in international travel to reasons that include the United States' own rich cultural and geographic diversity, an American skepticism and/or ignorance about international destinations and last, but not the least, a work culture that prevents Americans from taking long vacations abroad.
