According to a survey by Skyscanner, Brits lead the league as the worst tourists in all three classes: 1) the drunkest tourists, 2) the tourists who leave the least tips and 3) the tourists who are least interested in learning the local language.

Here are the lists

The British are obviously annoying as tourists. However, the Russians win the class as the most rude tourists. Other bad performers in the list are Americans, French and Germans.

The drunkest tourists

Being on the list of the drunkest tourists doesn't feel very honourable. The British top the list, followed by Americans and Russians.

  1. British
  2. Americans
  3. Russians
  4. Fransos
  5. Germans

The most insolent

Of course, topping the list of most rude tourists is nothing to brag about either. Russians take the lead, followed by Germans and Americans.

  1. Russians
  2. Germans
  3. Americans
  4. British
  5. Fransos

Leaves least tips

The tourists who leave the least tip are apparently the British. The Germans and Chinese aren't very generous either.

  1. British
  2. Germans
  3. Chinese people
  4. Russians
  5. Fransos

Least interested in learning the local language

The British top no less than three of the four lists. Apart from being drunk and leaving little tips, they are also not interested in learning the local language.

  1. British
  2. Americans
  3. Russians
  4. Fransos
  5. Germans

Our theory

Our theory is that people who come from big and powerful countries are less humble. They are used to using their own language and usually don't have to adapt. If you come from a smaller country, you have learnt from the outset that you need to learn other languages, understand other cultures and be able to cooperate across borders. Right or wrong?
