    This Manhattan crossroads of commerce(商业) is the top spot on our list, thanks to increasing visitors to New York City in 2012 despite the economic turndown. According to the Times Square Alliance, “80% of visitors to NYC make it a point to visit Times Square.” The total of NYC visits last year was 47 million, which means about 37.6 million travelers visited the “Crossroads of the World”.
