I've never known any German tourists, here or while I was abroad. I've seen a lot of Brits, though, and I've never found them to be anything but fun to hang out with.
-
already 15 years ago those german tourists seemed to be a well known threat - couple weeks after I left turkey, some german tourists came to the same hotel and a friend told his friend who was staying longer in turkey at the time, told the germans had been 'quite active' in a bad way at the hotel I had been.

We get plenty of French, British and German tourists, and you really can't generalize. You get both nice people and complete tards from every nation.

Just like on this BBS ! ;) :cool:

It has been this way for ages.
Ever thought that this number might correspond do the number of people on holiday in the sites questioned?

One of the sites quoted was in the Carib. I've been to almost every Carib. island, and seen a fair sampling of tourist represented.

Because one location is quoted in the arcticle that doesn't say anything about where the interviews did take place.

Naw the dam ARABS are the rudist:D

hmph i find most tourists pretty rude...no matter where they come from they all have the same "i know better than the guy whos lived here all his life" attitude...

WTF difference does it matter where they took place? It's who they interviewed that matters.
Don't get your panties in a bunch because the rest of the world thinks you're rude.

Oh yes the German are known to act out their "Master People" play when on holiday. What I found surprising is that Americans are on third place. The Americans I've met here have all been very polite ... although I can say the same for the Germans I've met. Perhaps it's all about location?
Maybe, just maybe your booze prizes have some effect on this? Doesent a 0,5l pint in Oslo cost something like 15 euros? :eek:

I live in a "resort area" in the Netherlands, our house is right on the water with a private boat dock, and we are 200 meters from the beach,
so far this year we have had 4 boats towed from the dock (all German) and over 20 cars towed from the front yard, (German, British, Belgium & Dutch)
Not bad considering that the summer did not really start until July.
From what I hear it's pretty much the same every else, you will always have *******s in every group
Cheers

All tourists I have met here i norway has been very polite and friendly where ever they have spawned from as long as we have treated them in the same manner.
The worst "tourist" I have met are fellow norwegians either on holiday here in norway or if I run into them abroad :D
-
The strangest thing about tourists is that they all seem to know for sure that I am the one who can speak English... :eek: In a crowded underground car they come to me and ask for directions. Once I even had to give shelter to a guy from Nepal who was late for the last underground train and couldn't explain where he is going.

Nonsense. Each place for holidays has a certain kind of customer. There are places that are croweded by visitors from certain nations and very few from others. Questionaires there are going to result in high rudeness scores of those nations that happen to deploy the majority.
It also depends on how many people from a country are going on holiday each year, in absoulte numbers. A few visitors from Liechtenstein will probably not create high overall rudeness scores, while onehundredthousand visitors from one country representing more than 50% of all visitors to a certain place are going to be very high on the rudeness list when interviews take place there.

I live in the South West of england and grew up in a tourist town.
The worst tourists by far are the people who come to visit devon and cornwall in their nice shiny cars, and cant reverse for watermelon when you come face to face with them in your car in the single track lanes we have.
Its really annoying when you have to reverse 1/4 mile to a passing place just cos some tard couldn't reverse back 20 feet to the space behind him :mad:
and caravan drivers in the lanes, shhish:rolleyes:

Years ago I read about english youngsters on the Canarie Islands. Boozing to the max for one or two weeks.
Wearing t-shirts saying in front "You hate us" and rear "and we don't care" .

I demand a recount! We Americans have got to be the worst. I know I'm doing my part.

So you're telling me that in the Carib. there are more German and Brit tourists, and that's why they scored higher? You've obviously never been.

What does a single anecdote have to do with an average number? Go learn something about statistics.

Statistics is my life. You're the one that brought up a rediculous inference. Just because the truth hurts.......
