Default world's worst tourists

Don't be silly. The world's worst tourists are the folks sitting next
to you. And they have the same attitude. By the way the "Ugly
American" was a good guy and respectful of the local culture. He was
just old and wrinkled -- thus ugly to the biased locals. FFM

Brits were judged the least welcome tourists in an Expedia survey this

still common, and Israeli and Australian tourists are often said to
match the British for rudeness and drunken misbehaviour respectively.
Does anyone have any anecdotes relating to this? Who *are* the world's
worst tourists?
