Can’t We All Just Get Along?

Forget about “How To ‘Green’ Your Travels” or “5 Ways To Stretch Your Holiday Dollars.” German newspaper Bild has taken the “How To” article to a whole new level, printing a guide to help its readers avoid British tourists abroad. According to the Independent, the guide was a response to a successful lawsuit by a British traveler, who sued his tour operator after finding himself at a resort full of Germans. Just another beautiful We Are The World moment in international travel.

I think we all know that there are tourists we’d like to avoid, but its not fair to label them as British , American, Israeli, etc. Such stereotyping simply isn’t fair. Those horrible individuals that we meet on the road (and the exceptionally enjoyable ones too) are rarely representative for their entire nationality. What we really need is a how-to on avoiding the tourists that give their nationalities a bad name.
