Ran across this on my browser. I found it interesting enough to share. However I reserve the right to withold my opinon as to whether I agree or disagree. After all, the survey was taken only in Europe.
French Deemed Worst Tourists

It's a debate that will never be definitively decided, but for the time being, the French are officially the worst tourists in Europe according to a recent survey of 15,000 European hoteliers.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, the same survey has determined that the very best tourists are the Japanese. Americans, despite the bad rap they usually receive, were deemed the second best--although this was a hollow victory as the Americans were also voted the worst dressed tourists according to the same survey (speaking for myself, guilty as charged!).
The five worst tourists according to the survey come from the following countries:
1. France
2. India
3. China
4. Russia
5. Britain

You Sir , Have never been to Mallorca La Arenal to be exact Germany V England Ballerman 7 The worst singing in the world and the punch up afterwards meaning those families who were unlucky enough to be in the vicinity did not get a wink of sleep.
A word of advice to those with similar problems, wenn the children wake up at about 6am like every day send them to knock on the doors of the idiots who kept you up last night.

Russians are some of the worst.
Oversteroidbodybuilded Italians chanting "championi del mundo" on the tune of Seven Nation Army and continuing to speak Italian after SEVERAL times being pointed on that one speaks English aren't that much better.
Germans are quite ok.
Britains, worst tourist, never?, you foreign types should learn to speak our lingo, then everything would be fine,
piece of advice when travelling abroad, and encountering a native, shouting loudly at them in your native tongue, will not make them understand you any better, their foreign, not deaf!
Russians and Britains are ok. Russian looks/sounds rude when they try to speak but they are not. It is their style. Brits are too polite until midnight. Both of them produce enough urine which is good small shops.
I'm surprised the loud mouthed, pompous assed, arrogant, inconsiderate Americans are not on the list, much to my relief.

I am surprised the Brits are fifth. I'm sure we are even worse than that and I demand a recount

I can quite see why we made the list. The loudest bunch of people in the planet. Also the last bunch to shutup in any movie theatre.Originally Posted by RustyBattleship

nothing like seeing a american tourist grinning next to a blast furnace in a nazi war to camp to get their photo taken. do they all think we have kangaroos as pets
die, no0b
Tourists? Heck just get on any "India bound" plane when the locals board - usually in Frankfurt!
You will think you got on a city bus in India!!
You don't travel much anymore and when you do you stay in American hotels, sail on American cruise ships, and move around on American-only tours, so we never see you. Whats the matter, do we scare you
Honestly, I'm a little surprised that Chinese people aren't a little higher than they are at.
I'm Chinese and I hate to admit it, but alot of us talk loudly and spit on the streets.
Those who can't change become extinct.
