Lots of locals feel salty about tourists. They stand on the left side of the escalator, crowd places like the Tidal Basin with their darn-tootin’ selfie sticks, and stop abruptly in the middle of the sidewalks. New data out from tourism booster Destination DC confirms that it’s not your imagination—there really are more of them every year. It’s the seventh consecutive year that the District broke its record for number of visitors.

In 2015, a total of 21.3 million visitors came to D.C., including around 2 million from overseas, according to Destination DC. The number one country for foreign visitors? China, with 300,000 tourists, followed by the United Kingdom and Germany. Australia, France, India, South Korea, Brazil, Italy and Japan round out the rest of the top ten.

The international visitors are key because they’re the ones spending the most dough in the District. While they’re 9 percent of the total visitors, they account for about 27 percent of visitor spending. To keep the momentum going, Destination DC says it will launch a Welcome China program in September.

In total, Destination DC says visitor spending hit $7.1 billion in 2015. “Tourism is an economic engine for the city, generating $757 million dollars in DC tax revenue,” said DDC president and CEO Elliott Ferguson in a statement.

The association thinks that 2016 will be another record-breaker for the city, citing events like the forthcoming opening of the African American History And Culture Museum and the city’s new status as a happening dining scene.
