Are modern tourists worse than they used to be?
yeah a bit, more blue collar assholes have the money to travel.
Yes.
More people travel. More people with less money, education, life experience, etc travel. More people are on social media and exposed to travel content.
Travel is no longer niche and aspirational, its not a luxury, its "a right", its expected.
This is where entitlement comes in. Its why some dickhead will bring their whole family to a local event and demand it be changed for their benefit, while their toddler screams and carries on and their 8 year old smashes an ancient vase or some shit.
Americans and Chinese are particularly guilty of this shit - both, in general think they are the centre of the world and everyone else needs to cater to their needs.
>>2807383 (OP)Everyone is worse than they used to be and tourists are no exception.
British people are so similar to Americans but they refuse to acknowledge it.
>>2807594>Its why some dickhead will bring their whole family to a local event and demand it be changed for their benefit, while their toddler screams and carries on and their 8 year old smashes an ancient vase or some shit.So true
>Americans and Chinese are particularly guilty of this shit - bothDunno man, not sure if they belong in the same category, but you are right when you say they are annoying as hell.
>>2807383 (OP)no, they were always incredibly shit
>>2807383 (OP)Airline misconduct complaints peaked in 2021 and have been steadily dropping since then.
>>2807593Not from what I've seen. Most wagies are locked into the grind more than ever before. A weekend of getting trashed somewhere near a beach is not travel.
>>2807383 (OP)European hordes have been retarded and unpleasant as long as I can remember.
OP you posted it in your pic, it's americans. They ruin virtually any holiday. Why bother with a thread or are you just reminding them how fat and ugly they are?
>>2807743If Brits think the Yanks are bad, allow me to introduce you to Benidorm. You Brits are equally low class and obnoxious.
Benidorm is for Brits what Cancun is for Americans. A place where you go and get as inebriated, loud, and beligerent as possible, all the while proudly modeling what a shining example the proud Western civilized tradition truly is.
>>2808244Yes, we have some extremely nasty specimens, who sadly are finding their way to Thailand and other, more exotic, destinations ever more frequently, these days.
I'm truly sorry, world.
>>2807743those are obviously brain dead britbongs, they are almost as big of niggers as the chinese locusts
>>2808249If you don't want to be around rowdy uninhibited tourists, don't travel to those few places where they congregate.
>>2807743The worst is domestic American tourists in our national parks. The grossest kind of white trash and taki-munching Latinos
>>2808272Nah. Some interesting places are frequented by theses specimen. It requires some shielding but surprinsingly, it's easy to tell retard to f off nicely in Thailand than it is in Europe and just direct them to somewhere else
>>2807738My theory is that it's post-covid. People stopped going into restaurants and social activities at home and now funnel it all into a Ticket-to-Dreamland® Thailand/Latam. This would explain why they are so bitter and tense abroad after 1 complete year of fun deprivation. Oh, and add-in the low cost of airlines ticket that operate their fleets at a loss to recoup hardware investments
>>2807383 (OP)Yes
travel used to be expensive and difficult. the best resource you had was lonely planet guidebooks that would go out of date and you had to be able to deal with language barriers, inaccurate maps, currency exchange, paper visas, bureaucracy only open 10am-2pm, all that crap. This put many off anything other than Med beach package holidays. Now that people who are really quite stupid can just google their way out of a problem the barrier to entry to visiting interesting places has fallen, even as more people have more money to spend on travel, so you get more and shittier tourists everywhere
>>2807383 (OP)yeah you have more americans and italians
>>2808689haha I have noticed that Italian tourists have the same problem as Americans where they are loud and demanding as fuck
Yes, because chinese and indians used to be too poor to travel. Now they shit up every place they go to.
>>2808515>and now funnel it all into a Ticket-to-Dreamland® Thailand/LatamYour theory is that everyone is now a sex tourist like yourself? lol
>>2809060Dunno about Indians but trust me bro get in good with chinese tourists, get on wechat and you now have an international network
>>2807738People got used to shitty behavior. Doesn't mean their behavior is less shitty.
