The fifth worst tourists mark was given to Britons who were said to have (from the survey) rude behavior, were noise and had a bad attitude towards tipping. However they were still welcomed as they were aid to be the third biggest holiday spenders after Americans and Russians.

On the other hand, American received the number 1` spot for at least one category - worst dressed tourists – “we’re #1!, we’re #1!”
Oh wait… that’s a bad thing…
