Have you been to a landmark in any European city in the last 10 years and there wasn't 5 coach loads of Chinese tourists there at the same time?
5-10 years ago there weren't many Chinese here (tourists, as there were small businesses, cheap shops etc.). But nowadays the place is crawling with them, it's incredible, they are on every step in the city.

    I went to Mallorca and didn't see any Asians. But maybe that's because it was mostly drunk Brits everywhere (and drunk me).

    But there is also a geographical component to that. There are a lot of black people in large cities. Large cities are difficult to social distance in. And younger populations in the cities are more likely to disobey stay at home orders.
    True and lower socio economic means results in more people, extended families crammed into the same apartment.

    Worst tourists:
    1. Asian peeps
    2. Russian peeps
    3. British peeps

    Asian peeps (nobody can tell if they are from China, Japan or where, that's why I just call them all Asian) just don't know how to behave. Russian and British peeps are just arrogant pricks.
