Anyway I got my ideas from a survey of hoteliers I read about online hence what I wrote, just to give you a head's up!

I probably shouldn't be surprised. Many Filipinos I know do complain about the Koreans...

French, Chinese/Japanese and Spaniards.

French people complain so frequently and so easily while they travel.

Chinese and Japanese are not the worst but often travel in big noisy groups and are stuck to their cameras, etc. It's not a stereotype. It's true

Spaniards, I noticed, are very noisy.

You were obviously lucky to find a particularly tolerant Cypriot. I would have kicked your head in.

i don't care if it's legal, nor am i advocating against its legality. i'm just sayin', you could have been a little more courteous.
Itsria,
This guy is pulling your leg - joking. And you are falling for it. It is all very funny, but the joke is ending up on you. Maybe you should not respond to his taunting?

This has been especially true in recent years, ever since the Canadian dollar appreciated vis-a-vis the USD. They drive recklessly, litter, get into fights at sporting events, can't control their liquor, and tend to rub retail workers the wrong way (there is even a Facebook group called "I Hate Canadian Shoppers"). So it depends on who you ask.
I looked into this facebook group and cannot find it.

Being from Canada, I travel to the US a lot to shop. The people I know that shop in the US are nothing but respectful. Maybe the shoppers from Toronto are rude? I am from Thunder Bay and travel to MN. We have nothing but respect for them.

I don't know about the shoppers, but Canadians do have a problem coming to Detroit wearing their Crosby jerseys!

People from Madrid and Japanese. Japanese travel around like pinballs following some idiotic schedule, earning points evert time thet take some idiotic shot with their cameras. In Barcelona they love Gaudi's buildings, utterly ugly buildings constructed by a maniac a century ago. They disappear in seconds. People from Madrid are corny, overdressed and loud and they think that they are royalty.

UK/British, Canadians, Americans, and French are some of the best travelers based on nationality! I am surprised some people think they are some of the worst.


People from these 10 countries seem to be the worst travelers by far:

Serbia
Albania
Bosnia
Nigeria
Mexico
Portugal
Saudi Arabia
Lithuania
Latvia
Brazil
