Just in Bakrid alone more than 25 million pilgrims from ALL COUNTRIES visit Mecca and another 20 million visit annually is less noticed, which gives me an idea how they did the work.

Dear soma sundaram it is not 25 million pilgrims it is only 2.5 million pilgrims who visit the annual festival of Hajj.

Also, Bakri Id is a term in South Asia. The correct word is Eid ul-Adha which is celebrated as a commemoration of Prophet Ibrahim's (Prophet Abraham's) willingness to sacrifice his son Ismael for God.
Secondly, pilgrims don't go for Eid ul-Adha, but they go for Hajj.
