British tourists need to check conditions of their
travel insuranceas most policies are made invalid if drink was a factor in an accident, according to the Association of British Travel Agents.
Frances Tuke, a spokeswoman for ABTA said that over the last few years, some tourist destinations have taken more of a "zero-tolerance" approach to binge-drinking.
Officials from the Greek island of Zante are to meet with British diplomats to discuss action to take over the heavy drinking and rowdy behaviour of UK holidaymakers, which they claim is reaching "crisis point" there.
British tourists were in the top five worst in the world according to the 2007 Best Tourist League from Expedia.
As well as being voted the meanest tippers by the hoteliers surveyed, UK tourists were also deemed the third most impolite and the overall worst behaved.
They also came second in the worst dressed vote, after the Americans.
The third annual British Behaviour Abroad report by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) shows that Spain saw the biggest number of UK tourists hospitalised, at 695, with Greece second at 602 people. Third was Thailand with 324 Brits on holiday needing treatment.
