Nearly 400,000 went to Asian countries and more than 57,000 visited Europe.
Japan, Thailand and Singapore were the three most popular destinations and France and Italy were the two favorite European countries.
The city's outbound tourism industry saw its monthly business surge more than 30 percent in January, April, June and July and drop in August because of the Beijing Olympics as many people chose to stay at home for the event. But business boomed again in December
About 13,000 tourists visited Africa and 12,500 went to America last year.
