The image of Britons on holiday abroad has improved, but not by much, according to new research.
UK holidaymakers have been replaced by the French as the worst tourists in the world, according to Expedia's Best Tourist League.
However, Britons are still the fifth worst and renowned for their bad dress sense, noisy behaviour, poor tipping and unwillingness to speak the local language.
"It's disappointing to learn that our position in the world rankings hasn't really changed and that foreign hoteliers still perceive Britons as noisy, untidy and badly dressed," said Caroline Cartellieri, managing director of Expedia.co.uk.
The hotelier respondents favoured Japanese, American and Swiss tourists, while UK hoteliers were surprisingly critical of homegrown visitors, the survey found.
