[Gocamino] Americans not the worst European tourists

[Richard Ferguson]

I thought that this was related to some past discussions about 
whether Americans were looked favorably on by Europeans.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 From CNN:

The best tourists in the world are the Japanese, followed by 
Americans and the Swiss, a survey based on views from hoteliers 
across Europe said Wednesday.

Japanese tourists stood out for being polite and tidy, securing 35 
percent 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 
rude behavior, noise and a miserly attitude to tipping.

But despite their faults, hoteliers do look favorably upon British 
spending habits voting them the third biggest holiday spenders after 
Americans and Russians.

Based on responses from 15,000 European hoteliers, the survey carried 
out on behalf of travel Web site Expedia showed that the worst 
tourist nation was France, followed by India, China and Russia.
