How current do you want the data to be?

In the last few years(3-5 would be great). I would love a current one if possible.

Hi willardmo,
The Office of Travel & Tourism Industries [1] has much of the data
that you're looking for.  Just click on the links that you're
interested in and
For example, this site lists the top cities visited in the United
States by overseas visitors in 1999 and 2000 [2], as well as the top
states visited [3].   I have turned both of these into Excel files for
easy viewing at http://www.ics.uci.edu/~dhnguyen/tourists_cities.xls
and http://www.ics.uci.edu/~dhnguyen/tourists_states.xls respectively.

I hope that answered your question.  If my answer need clarifying or
you could not find other data related to this at this website, please
request a clarification before rating this answer and I will be happy
to assist you with further research.

Sorry, the sentence: "Just click on the links that you're
interested in and"
is incomplete.  It should read:
Just click on the links that you're interested in and choose the
pertinent data files to view the statistics.

I would pay another $10 if you could find a list of cities similar to
Branson Missouri, and the number of visitors they get. Let me know.

Hello willardmo,
It appears that your question about cities similar to Branson,
Missouri had been answered by another researcher.  Since there is no
mechanism to pay more after you have rated an answer, I suggest that
you make a new question so that a researcher can answer it.

Thanks, did a quick and great job.
