The British Holiday Hot Spot League!
No real surprises here, Spain gets the top spot (again!)..... serious assistance is for things like losing their passports, getting arrested or being taken to hospital in that country.
I would imagine the USA also includes a few drive bys, bridge collapses, muggings, serial killings, terrorist attacks, etc, etc,
1. Spain - 13.8m visitors, 5,627 serious assistance cases
2. USA - 4.1m/3,006
3. Greece - 2.4m/2,316
4. France - 11m/1,408
5. Germany - 2.5m/1,381
6. Cyprus - 1.4m/996
7. India - 847,000/914
8. Thailand - 381,000/897
9. Czech Republic - 813,000/845
10. Australia - 650,000/815

yes but look at the number of visitors, huge compared to the number of injuries. The BBC is looking at the stag do aspect to Prague as a reason for the rise of Eastern Europe problems.
Basically people can't behave at home and the Police do very little then they go abroad and behave even worse. Chavs deserve locking up in a Spanish hell hole.

Agreed, this particular quote about sums the situation up..
Send them to Iraq on the next plane from Riga

"And so to have a bunch of loud-mouthed boys come here and drink, take off their shirts, run around the streets and scream and pee on our monuments, it's not very well-received."
