A relatively common method of obtaining discounts and gifts from the hotel - to introduce the newlyweds. By this trick even once resorted 11% of Russians and 10% of Spaniards. Basically, this move would bring tourists to a bottle of champagne and fruit as a gift from the hotel, and only a few - upgrading facilities. As admitted 7% of Russian tourists, who dared to cheat in this way, the hotel they have not offered any additional services over and above already paid.Traveling incognito
Another trick often used by tourists - to present a false name. In this respect succeeded Norwegians (7%) and Swedes (9.5%). And the first line, again, took the Russians - 11%. Along with the mediocre Ivanov, Petrov and Sidorov, our travelers were not afraid to submit the names of the President of the country - 6.3% of respondents were registered at the hotel as Medvedev. Also popular were called Smirnov, Kuznetsov, and, oddly enough, Smith said. Posing as someone else's name, the tourists opt for simpler names, or, conversely, choose complex unusual names (eg, Smith). The reason for "change" names in most cases, as recognized by Russians and European tourists, was a desire not to be caught unawares in "flagrante delicto". About 7% of Russians and Danes, as well as 5% of Swedes said they arrived at the hotel with those with whom should never have been.In memory of the journey
The easiest and therefore the most popular among the tourists how petty fraud - take away from the hotel to the memory of a bathrobe, slippers, shampoo or a towel. Almost every second Russian, and about a third of Norwegians and Swedes were packed into a suitcase something from the hotel at the memory. "Cheat or not to cheat?
Of course, the rest - a costly exercise and the desire to save completely justified. But not every tourist is willing to deal with his conscience for the sake of economy. For example, in Germany 86% of tourists said they would never lie to get something for free. But 40% of Spaniards would cheat, but it would experience pangs of conscience. As for the Russians, almost 30% of travelers say rest and without expensive and do not regret cheating.How little we need to be happy ...
Judging by the results of the study, most Russian tourists in the hotels attracted to the mini-bar - almost half of Russians have tried to somehow avoid the payment of drinks. However, the study showed that this feature not only the Russian national character. From 40 to 70% of European tourists gladly keep silent, if at the reception during the eviction they will not be billed for using the mini-bar and other services. The exceptions are the Italians and the French, 14 and 11% of which can break anything in the room and declare that "all was well."
