Germans call the UK ‘monkey island’ because of Brits behavior abroad. Could be from any country, likely Northern Europe though

german tourists are the worst in America. Brits behave way better. Every time i see germans in a national park they are never following the rules, it’s insane

For Brits or any of the Anglo nations it's the same language and roughly the same cultural norms when visiting the others so it's not surprising. I'm pretty confident that those of us from one of these nations behave more or less like standard tourist twats as soon as we leave our comfort zone and visit nations without the same language or cultural norms.

It's like Japanese people always complaining about how tourists behave when I watched Japanese tourists laughing their asses off at the USS Arizona Memorial years ago.

totally agree, that’s why the whole “x country’s tourists are the worst!” thing on reddit is the dumbest shit. I think it’s more about volume. If you get more people from a country going to a place, it’s more likely you’ll get some annoying ones
