Who are the world’s happiest tourists? Apparently, Czechs: they leave the highest percentage of positive reviews for tour services out of the 50 countries examined. 92.3% of reviews from Czechs were either 4- or 5-star.

It’s not just the Czechs: reviewers from Central and Eastern European countries seem to leave the most number of positive reviews, with Russia, Poland, Romania, Hungary, Austria, and Germany also ranking in the top 10. All 10 of the “happiest countries” are in Europe.
