It always makes me laugh a little especially the people who seem to think that travel has to be unpleasant to be "authentic". If people want to take their little bubble of home comforts to a place with prettier scenery is that so wrong.

Individual Americans and Germans are lovely but in packs they are very loud and often unnecessarily rude! There is a large academic literature on what is “authentic” in tourism.
