The ugly American? Mais non, said 1,500 European hotel managers when asked to rank tourists' traits by nationality.
American visitors, they said, are the most generous, most interested in local cuisine and most willing to adopt the local language.
On the downside, they said, we're the worst dressed. The managers, polled online by the German branch of Expedia.com, ranked Americans No. 2 as "overall best travelers," next to the Japanese. The worst travelers, they said, are the French.
