A survey carried out on behalf of the
travel website Expedia shows that French are the worst
tourists. India, China and Russia are not far behind.
The survey results are based on response
from 15000 hoteliers across Europe, reports DNA.
The best tourists in the world are the
Japanese, followed by Americans and the Swiss.
Respondents said they disliked Indian
tourists for being loud, untidy, and poorly behaved.
Americans were judged the most courteous and the British
the rudest, alongside the Russians and Canadians.
Japanese tourists stood out for being
polite and tidy, securing 35 per cent more votes than
the Americans, who came second. Swiss tourists were
commended for being quiet and considerate, unlike the
Britons, who were judged to be the fifth worst tourists
because of their rude and noisy behaviour.
But British travellers seemed to have
'improved' because five years ago, they were on top
of the league of terrible tourists.
Despite Britons' faults, hoteliers, however,
look favourably upon their spending habits, voting them
the third biggest holiday spenders after Americans and
Russians.
