When they’re seated behind you on a plane, in the hotel room next door, or beside you at a museum, loud travelers are the worst–and this new survey proves it.
The travel booking website Agoda polled over 10,000 people who have vacationed in the past year on what tourist behavior they found the most annoying. The top five most irritating habits were:
- Noisy travelers
- Tourists who are “glued to their devices”
- People who are “insensitive to cultural nuances”
- Giant tour groups
- Selfie-takers
So next time you spot a large, loud group of tourists who are glued to their devices in order to take selfies in a culturally inappropriate place–congratulations, you’ve hit the jackpot of frustrating travel behavior.
Do you agree with this list? What travel habit drives you crazy?
