The Polish, no surprise i guess

https://www.msn.com/en-gb/travel/news/t ... 8&ei=27New data has revealed which European country has the most tight-fisted tourists.According to the World Tourism Organisation (UNTWO), it is Polish holidaymakers who spend the least amount of cash when they go on their holidays.In 2019, the Poles spent €8.8billion (£7.4billion), down from €9.1billion (£7.6billion) in 2018, which was a record figure. In 2022, they spent even less, the study showed, as they spent around €185 (£155) per person in other countries while visiting for tourism purposes, totalling up to €7.2billion (£6.07bn)The most popular destinations with Poles were Italy, Germany, the UK, Turkey and Croatia.Second on the list is Greece. Tourists from Greece spent an average of €193 (£162) per person when travelling abroad, totalling €1.9billion (£1.6billion) spent in 2022.

The UNTWO found that both Poles and Greeks are showing a growing interest in Albania for their holidays.Albania was Greece's most popular destination, followed by Turkey, Italy, Bulgaria and the UK.Hungarians, Bulgarians, and Croatians were the next three nationalities on the list, spending between €236 (£198) and €374 (£314) on their holidays.

Hungarians spent €2.2billion (£1.8billion), with their favourite destinations being Croatia, Austria, Italy, Romania, and the UK.Bulgarians spent an average of €239 (£201) with a total of €1.5billion (£1.2billion). Their favorite destinations were Greece, Turkey, Romania, Hungary, and the UK.Croatians spent a total of €1.4billion (£1.18billion) in 2022. They favoured France, Slovenia, Austria, and Germany.The UK is up there with the most flamboyant tourists when it comes to spending. In 2023, British tourists spent a total of £72.4billion on trips abroad.This resulted in an average of £839 per person

You’re so dumb that someone had to tell you that Italy is full of Italians?

Shame no-one ever told you not to go to Cambodia and abuse child prostitutes.

Was just in Italy. I'm British so I get it - in Europe you tip good service and not too much, it's really not expected but its catching on because the Septics who don't know better lay out huge unnecessary tips (note: They actually PAY their staff in Europe!) and some places are catching on to the excessive tip culture and increasingly asking for them when you pay.

Comes as no surprise to me. I’ve overheard Poles quibbling about service charges in restaurants and cafes in Istanbul, that amount to about a quid. On a number of occasions.

I didn't think the Greeks like the Albanians. So surprised by that. 

I do hear that Albania is lovely and some of the package deals you can get are mental. Gonna have a look myself.
