Russians are world's worst tourists, suggests poll
London:
The world's worst holidaymaker poll suggests that Russians
are the worst tourists in the world. The 'Who do you not
get on with on holiday' poll surveyed over 1,000 British
tourists who went abroad this summer, and suggested that
Russians were money flashing chavs who hid sunloungers
in their hotel rooms. According to reports, the Germans
have been beaten into second place. Brits who holidayed
in Spain, France, Cyprus, Malta, Italy, Turkey, Greece
and Portugal complained that Russian tourists were more
likely to take hotel sunloungers into their rooms to make
sure that they got a seat by the pool in the morning.
They further said that Russian tourists would flash their
money around, and order hotel staff to be at their beck
and call. They said that Russians were also likely to
belch and swear in public areas like hotel swimming pools
and bars, and dress like 'chavs' - wearing tracksuits
and gold bling. Gary Hewitt, who runs the Real Holiday
Reports website, said that a number of complaints had
been made about the behaviour of Russians by UK tourists
this summer. "To be honest, when we started the poll we
expected the normal complaints about German tourists hogging
the sunloungers - the same old stories," the Sun quoted
him as saying. "But to our surprise we've been flooded
with complaints about Russians on holiday. "People have
commented that they are rude, flash their cash around
and think they own the place," he added. The poll has
had more than 1,000 hits so far, and the Russians are
currently top of the leader board with more than one-third
of the votes. The Germans are not far behind with just
over 30 per cent, and Brits themselves make up 15 per
cent.
