Germany’s tabloid newspaper, Bild, has printed a list of holiday resorts to avoid – those dominated by the British.
This comes after a British man was awarded £750 (953 euros) 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, drinking-habits and sport.
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.
Penalty jibe
Bild points out that Germans will find it hard to get their money back if they find their hotel overrun with Britons.
“Even if the travel company announces in the brochure that the resort is ‘favoured by Germans’, the tourist has to accept the possibility that he will spend his holidays with up to 90% foreigners – above all with the English,” Uta Stenzel, a legal expert, told the paper.
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.
It also ridicules British cuisine, binge-drinking, fashion and sport, says that “athletically they are not up to much, they can’t even take penalties” and points out that Austria and Switzerland – the hosts of this summer’s Euro 2008 football championships – will be largely British-free zones this year as no British teams have qualified.
mate of mine was working in Saudi for a week. Everything was arranged by a big german company, including the instruction that breakfast was at 6.30am.
He went down to eat an hour earlier than that, and after a while this german fella appears and demands to know why he was there. “Oh I just woke up a bit early” says me mate.
At 5.30 the next morning there were five germans in the breakfast room waiting for him.
