Is it your culture that you carry with you when you travel? Are in fact a cultural ambassador for your country? Or do you just take hospitality for granted? Hoteliers in Europe have given their judgment!
Hoteliers across Europe have given their judgments in a survey for almost 15,000, that the best tourists in the world are the Japanese, followed by Americans and the Swiss.
Rude behavior, being noise and miserly tipping, put the Britons down as the fifth worst tourists. Though they were commended for their spending habits and were voted the third biggest holiday spenders after Americans and Russians.
Japanese tourists stood out for being polite and tidy, securing 35 percent more votes than the Americans who came second. However, the Americans headed the category for ‘worst-dressed tourist table’. The Germans headed the category of the least-generous table, the Americans came fifth in the same. Swiss tourists were commended for being quiet and considerate.
The survey was carried out on behalf of travel Web site Expedia and it showed that the worst tourist nation was France, followed by India, China and Russia.
