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.
Britain was second in the worst-dressed tourist table which was headed by the Americans, and fifth in the least-generous table which was headed by the Germans.
上週三，一項對歐洲酒店經營者的調查顯示，各國遊客中最有素質的要數日本人，其次是美國人和瑞士人。
日本遊客因講禮貌、衣裝整齊，以35%的得票率超過美國，名列榜首。
瑞士遊客不會大聲喧譁，而且善於體諒他人，因而受到酒店經營者們的讚揚；而英國遊客則因行爲粗魯、喧譁和吝嗇小費成爲素質最差的第五大遊客羣。
儘管英國人有諸多毛病，但英國人的花錢習慣則讓酒店老闆們頗爲“欣賞”，被評爲僅次於美國人和俄羅斯人的第三大假日消費羣。
這項代表旅遊網站Expedia所做的調查收到了1萬5千名歐洲酒店老闆的回饋。調查顯示，素質最差的遊客是法國人，其次是印度人、中國人和俄羅斯人。
美國遊客在穿着方面最不講究，其次是英國遊客；德國遊客最小氣，這方面英國遊客位居第五。
