Of these visitors, most head to New York, followed by Florida, California, Hawaii and Nevada (the home of Las Vegas). Compared to those numbers, almost no one goes to the USA's least-visited state, Alaska, which is both the biggest state and the least densely populated.

You could fit the entire UK into it seven times, yet its population is only around 730,000 (about the same as the number of people who live in the area around Sheffield) so there are vast parts of its mountain peaks, huge forests and glacial landscapes where you won't see another soul. But even within Alaska, there's remote and then there's remote . For example, around 290,000 people live in its largest city, Anchorage, where there's an international airport and pretty much any modern convenience and chain store brand you'd expect to find in any American city of comparable size.
