Here are the latest statistics of overseas visitors to top U.S. cities. I don't think these numbers include travellers by vehicle (Mexico, Canada) and ship. Why you ask? Well, just take a look at San Diego's figures, it's a city that borders the most travelled border-crossing in the world. I also think that these figures are of MSAs as you can see San Francisco and San Jose are separated.
Anyhow, New York City blows all other cities out the water!
