The final four countries are certainly interesting (especially after 64 games with many upsets!) with all being in Asia. But, Asia is a top travel destination and the latest report from UNWTO shows an increase of 6% in total tourist arrivals in 2011. Total international tourist arrivals were 217 million, second only to Europe's 504 million arrivals. The winners were determined by the actual NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament results (i.e. #9 seed beating #2 seed matched up with the equivalent country seeds) and the initial seedings were based on UNWTO International Tourist Arrival Statistics.
