Get them out of here, they’re British
BERLIN – Germany’s tabloid newspaper, Bild, has printed a list of holiday resorts to avoid – those dominated by the British.
As reported in TravelMole Asia this week, the newspaper’s list comes after a British man was awarded £750 after suing his travel company over a holiday at a resort filled with Germans
Bild quotes a German legal expert saying that Germans holidaying in all-British resorts would not have the same opportunity of suing.
It goes on to poke fun at British cuisine and drinking habits.
David Barnish, 47, was awarded compensation last week for a holiday in Greece which he argued had been spoilt by the number of German tourists and the fact that all the activities were organised in the German language.
Bild points out that Germans will find it hard to get their money back if they find their hotel overrun with Britons.
Bild recommends avoiding the best-known destinations for British holidaymakers and lists the top six ‘black spots’ as the Bay of Palma in Majorca, San Antonio in Ibiza, Playa de las Americas in Tenerife, Ayia Napa in Cyprus, Faliraki on the Greek island of Rhodes and Malia in Crete.
Just in case the Germans have a problem identifying British tourists abroad, Bild has a guide on its online version, illustrated with an unappealing photo of two sunburnt women on sun chairs.
