This state, which has long marked the "frontier" between the East and West of the country, is rarely visited, especially by foreign tourists. That is, unless you count Branson, which, with its attractions and performance venues, welcomes millions of visitors each year (almost exclusively Americans). Beyond that, St. Louis with its famous arch or Kansas City and its architecture draw some crowds. As for the natural environment, while the state is mostly flat and monotonous, the Ozark Mountains in the southwest offer hiking, canoeing, and fishing in a landscape of rolling rivers and lakes.
