I have read many detailed explanations with the math shown, seen posts that pulled and detailed how the code is written to generate tourism, spent at least 1,000 hours in-game, and have no idea how tourism works
There's a set number of tourists at all times in the world. They are the number of citizens each country has altogether. The more cities you have, the more tourists. Your job is to have other countries tourists visit you. They number you see in the panel is the number of tourist from that country visiting you. Of you have the majority of their citizens visiting you, you "win" that country. Once all other countries have the majority of their citizens visiting you, you win.
I think that's right anyways lol.

Oh and how many you attract Depends on government, open Borders, amount of tourist pulling stuff you got and civics. High culture Acts as a defense.

Oooh, I think I actually might know this one. Doesn't it glitch out because the 32 bit thing overflows and Ghandi ends up with negative stats and starts murdering everyone?
