Does anyone have any anecdotes relating to this? Who *are* the world's
worst tourists?


Pretty much any nationality travelling in a big organised group, where
they hang their brains up like their coats as soon as they meet the
tour leader. "Haha, we'll be looked after and have our arses/asses
wiped for us. Responsibility ends here!" The herd mentality then takes
over.


Or any nationality traveling independently, who thinks he/she is morally
superior to others simply because of the method of travel.

Or any nationality who judge other with broad strokes.
