I once traveled with French people. As we were leaving the airport building up on arrival and met our local tour guide, one of them pulled out her cigarettes. All of the area had big signs declaring non smoking and pointing to the designated smoking area.
I asked her to go to the smoking area, since we should comply with local customs and laws as guests.
The reply was “oui, but i am French!”
We later had a whole drama with having to send her home earlier because of continuously offending local people.
French tourists also have a bad reputation in many countries because of behaviour like this.
I dont know. I never heard someone complain about Korean tourists for instance.
Other bad reputation tourists include Germans, Brits and Russians. But i guess that is mainly because of “drunk at the beach” tourism to Spain and Turkey.
Would you like to have someone next to you make lots of noise, while you are just trying to get from A to B in peace?
Also it is one thing to be oblivious to annoying other people in public. It is another thing entirely to make a point of annoying other people in public and doubling down on it, if someone tell you. That is just being arrogant and vile.
The reputation of tourists should not be seen as the representation of all people in a country. But i think it is important to be aware of it, in particular to not act in a way that reinforces negative ones while being abroad.
As someone living in Germany i think you too are aware of the reputation that German Mallorca tourists have, not just in Spain but in Gerrmany too.
My bro went on erasmus to France. Well, first the girl from France came to us. We hosted her, they went to a club for drinks n’stuff, shown her around the city etc. One funny thing is she thought we were about to feed her horse meat for some reason. Then my bro went, they planned a trip to disneyland. Apparently something went wrong with the tickets and my bro couldn’t get in. So they left him in the parkinglot and had fun by themselves lol. He got back to the village (50km away) by going with a second family that was in the program. Like, completely insane shit.

Ftr, if someone “jokingly” suggests eugenics, please report that.
You know they HAVE enforcement because it didn’t work before without it.
I wouldn’t have thought that you of all commenters here were going to dig that kind of hole for yourself. Yikes.
