Central Park gets all the headlines. It’s massive, beautiful, and genuinely worth visiting.

Italy drew roughly 71 million visitors in 2024, a figure that keeps climbing year on year. The country welcomed a record-breaking 65 million international visitors in 2024, surpassing pre-pandemic levels by a substantial margin.

The 2026 World Cup will place extraordinary demands on security across multiple United States host cities. Organizers and officials have described the effort as unlike any previous domestic event.
