I'm 1 from 9 on this list (Lichtenstein), I'd happily go to all the rest.

I've only been to Tonga but did visit all three of its main island groups. The tourist infrastructure was certainly minimal in 1993 but that was part of the appeal

Three for me. Would have thought Liechtenstein would have more tourists given it is between some rather nice countries.

I wonder how they even get reliable statistics, given perhaps some visitors would be on day trips, and there is no border control.

Only one for me (Tonga) back in about 1981 so even less visitors back then.

I've been to Vaduz. Quite a few Chinese tour groups from Zurich there - the cafes on the main street even offered what must surely be the world's most expensive fried prawn noodle!

Two for me with another 2 on my bucket list.
I first visited the Solomons in 1969.Auki on Malaita had the second largest European population in the Solomons at that time.I arrived there on December 24th and was told I was the third tourist for the year.There were a few from Sydney Uni studying dolphins but they weren't counted as tourists.

I went there twice. 1956 ,I moved from Honiara, to siota. ( after being born at central hospital) Second time I went to Gilnavena ( on the southern tip of Rob Roy (Choisel) to visit my brother, who for some reason decided it was s good place to live !!!

This is my brothers house

I loved Liechtenstein. The people there were so friendly and the scenery was just picturesque.

Yes, it requires a bit of effort to get to but it wasn't that bad. From Zurich you just get a train to Feldkirch or Buch and change to a bus to Vaduz.

I would have thought Timor Leste would have been on that list.

Edit: Actually 50K tourists made it to Timor Leste in 2012 https://www.quandl.com/data/WORLDBA...este-International-tourism-number-of-arrivals

Of the nine listed five are in the Pacific and, geographically, so close to Australia.

 

[ChasingDaylight]

I guessed Tonga, didn't pick Tuvalu (though did query Niue/Kiribati etc in my head), did get the Solomon's and said it would be one of the 'stans. So 2.5.

 

[JohnK]

Only 1 for me. Liechtenstein.

 

[coyote25]

Wow zero for me and that's with 50 countries on my list

Shows they is so much to see and experience.
