Russo tourist, watch your morals!

Tourists from Russia seem to many foreigners the most terrible and problematic: it is our tourists who drink and fight the most, and generally behave in the most obscene way. Tours are becoming fashionable, where vacationers are guaranteed the absence of Russian tourists in the hotel, and such tours are increasingly popular. Why are we not loved so much abroad?

But the reasons are quite simple, if we try to imagine them, it will not be difficult. After all, how many jokes have already been devoted to this topic by KVN, humorists from popular channels, Russian comedies, but for some reason they remain the same and do not change.

Most problems can be solved at the stage of buying a tour. After all, this is a common phenomenon when some young, sweet girl who hardly reads the name of the hotel offers a tourist trip, and what can she say about the norms of behavior in this country? Meanwhile, this girl should give a full consultation for her clients, so that during the trip there are no incidents.

Probably, everyone watched the popular movie “I Want to Jail” and therefore remember how long the main character tried to buy tea in a foreign store. The film was shot in 1999, but does not lose relevance, because another important problem of Russian tourists is the ability to speak foreign languages. Often, service personnel say that tourists from Russia are trying to get out of the situation with the help of gestures, rather than confusing them. So don’t skimp on phrasebooks and feel free to use them if you don’t have an innate capacity for languages.

Often, among the minuses, the noise that our compatriots create is noted, but if you think about it, many foreigners behave no less noisy. Take, for example, the film “Adventures of Italians in Russia”: the main characters put on the ears of all St. Petersburg. It all depends on the situation: someone celebrates their birthday, someone celebrates the victory of their favorite team, so maybe you should just step into the position. I think that this comment can not be attributed exclusively to Russian-speaking tourists.

This year in the Russian rental came the film “Nanny”, in which the grandmother pounces on the buffet and bar. Most international hotels are annoyed by our love of freebies, especially if the All-Inclusive service is provided. Of course, most of us since childhood are familiar with the expression: “freebies and vinegar are sweet”, but in response, you can recall the Ukrainian saying: “If you do not eat, then I bite.” However, these are our Slavic brothers, and for Europeans, they are also Russian.

But the main reason that pushes away Russian tourists service staff of hotels and other vacationers is the love of the Russian people to alcohol. As an example of negligent tourists, Gena and Vovan from Our Rashi are ideally suited - on the one hand it is funny, and on the other it is shameful. We are struggling with this problem both inside and outside the country, but so far we have not seen any changes, and this has been going on for quite a long time. If you can guess the behavior of a drunken German or Italian, sometimes the behavior of a sober Russian tourist remains incomprehensible, not to mention what you can expect from him when he drinks. Having drunk a lot, our compatriots can hardly hold themselves together. Foreign women note that after the companions accompanying Russian ladies get drunk, they try not to waste time and begin to flirt more actively with the men around them. You can understand their discontent, because the whole world knows how beautiful Russian women are. In general, dear men, before you get drunk, think about the fact that after this holiday you and your wife can go to different countries and with completely different companions.

If, going on vacation to another country, you do not want to be an outcast and a laughing stock in a hotel, then learn languages, get acquainted with the traditions and norms of behavior in this country, and also try not to abuse food and alcohol, even if all this is provided for free. On our next trip abroad, let us conquer everyone with our courtesy and manners.
