Which Is the Most Visited National Park in the World?

Great Smoky Mountains National Park, straddling the border of Tennessee and North Carolina in the eastern United States, is the most visited national park in the US and likely the world, attracting over 12 million visitors annually. Its popularity comes from free admission (it is the only major US national park with no entrance fee), proximity to large population centres, scenic Appalachian mountain landscapes, diverse wildlife (including black bears), and about 1,500 species of wildflowers. Banff in Canada and Fuji-Hakone-Izu in Japan are also among the world's most visited.
