Really? I primarily hear about American, Chinese, and English tourists behaving badly.
I don’t actually travel, or encounter a lot of German people; what exactly is it that German tourists do that portray them so poorly?
I live in a port city and we have cruise tourism… maybe that’s the outlier.
Though I did read in the news once that Chinese tourists would go into people’s homes and even crash a funeral to take pictures…
That’s pretty fucked up.
