This list doesn't make any sense. I don't understand how Saudi Arabia does not make the top 10 with so many people traveling to make a pilgrimage to Mecca, and how does Hong Kong make the top 10 but China as a whole does not?

Plus there's limited permits for Haij. It's not like a free-for-all anyone since Saudi Arabia greatly cracked down on illegal unauthorized Haij pilgrimage facilitators. There's only so many pilgrims that small city can hold in a small span of time, and 1/4th of Haij pilgrims are domestic.
