Japanese tourists are the best in the world, according to a worldwide travel survey of hoteliers.
The survey, by online travel company Expedia.com, asked more than 4,000 hoteliers from around the world to list their best overall travelers. It also rated the travelers on categories that included manners, willingness to learn the local language and sample the cuisine, tidiness, generosity and stylishness.
The Japanese won top prize for being overall best tourists. Germans and Britons tied for second place, followed by the Canadians and Swiss.
"Hoteliers are the experts when it comes to interacting with tourists," said Expedia.com travel expert Karyn Thale in a media release. "So as the busy summer travel season approaches and vacationers prepare for their own travel experiences, we thought it would be fun to present some of their common perceptions regarding tourists from all around the world."
The survey ranked American tourists as the most generous, followed by Canadians and Russians, while the French, British and Dutch were the most "fiscally conservative."
Britons, Italians and Americans were considered noisy, while the French and Germans were among the messiest hotel guests.
Americans were at the bottom of the list when it came to fashion sense, with Italians and French voted tops.
