How well tourists mind their p’s and q’s was the subject of a recent survey of hoteliers commissioned by Expedia.  The results for American tourists (ranking eleventh overall) are mixed, scoring high points for generosity and low points for tidiness and civility.  German tourists scored highest for neatness while the Italians and French topped the best-dressed list.  Americans, whose fanny packs and white tennis shoes apparently do little to impress the front desk, are number one on the traveler’s equivalent of Blackwell’s worst-dressed list.  So how does one become a model tourist?  You’ll need to ask the Japanese, who ranked first overall.
