When you travel the world, like it or not, you are a representative of your country, and your behavior—good or bad—can reflect on your nation as a whole.
That’s why, while we’re all for spontaneity, sometimes it’s a good idea to stop and think before you chug that eighth beer and start dancing in the streets.

We also asked them which countries they thought behaved the worst while traveling. The answers might surprise you...

9. Italy: At number nine, Italy demonstrated a solid reputation for exporting tourists who are among the rudest and lewdest of all world travelers.
8. France: France tied Italy, with several respondents declaring their tourists the most likely to engage in rude or scandalous behaviors. Well, c’est la vie!
