Imagine my surprise that Americans are not the worst tourist, and almost made the top 10 best tourists, coming in at 11!!! Who's the worst? Heh heh, the FRENCH tourist is the worst, even loathed by their own people when they vacation at home!

Article States: Americans - Impolite Loud Complainers

"Americans, by contrast, demand the same exceptional service they are used to at home, which is why they (Americans) rank as the loudest, most inclined to complain, and among the least polite."

From the article: "According to hotel staff worldwide, the difference between the French and catfish is 'One is an ugly, slimy, bottom-dwelling scum sucker with a mustache, a the other is a fish' and beg the question 'Are Frenchmen miserable because they live in France, or is France a miserable place because it is full of Frenchmen?'"
