At least two million people from the European Union and the United Kingdom visit the United States yearly to see the sights and mingle with Americans.
However, Americans have formed their own opinions about what the stereotypical visitor from each nation and those ideas have been brought to life by AI.
DailyMail.com asked Midjourney, a system that creates images based on text prompts, how Americans think tourists from each country look while visiting the US.
According to the tech, Americans think the French dress to impress even when hiking the Grand Canyon and Scotsmen wear the traditional kilt no matter where they go – even on the New York subway.
Scottish tourists
AI re-imagined what an American thinks a tourist from Scotland looks like, creating a young man wearing the traditional kilt while riding the New York City subway. More than 350,000 Scots visit the US each year
French tourists
Americans must think the French dress up no matter where they go. Here, a man is wearing the Marinière while taking in the views of the Grand Canyon. More than 300,000 people from France travel to the US each year
Dutch tourists
Americans must think all Dutch tourists wear wooden shoes and bonnets. Data shows that more than 111,000 people from the Netherlands come to the US each year
Polish tourists
Americans think all Polish men have long, dark beards. AI re-imagined this tourist at Mount Rushmore. At least 30,000 people from Poland venture to American each year
Austrian tourists
Americans must believe all Austrian tourists have blond hair and always wear some sort of pink garment. More than 175,000 Austrians visited the US in 2022

Although more than 80 percent of Bulgarians have dark hair, the AI believes Americans think those visiting the country have blond locks
Croatian tourists

Danes are of Nordic Scandinavian ancestry, with a majority having blond hair and blue eyes, and that might be how Americans see them as they visit California in this image
Estonian tourists
Here are two Estonians visiting a festival in the US, and according to how Americans view them, AI created a couple with blond hair and blue eyes. The US Visa Waiver Program allows Estonian business people, tourists and in-transit visitors to enter America without a visa
Finnish tourists
Finland is located in northern Europe, and most Americans must think Finnish tourists are always dressed for winter – no matter where they go. More than 29,000 Finnish vacationed in the US in 2020

Italian tourists
Americans must think Italian tourists look just like they do across the Atlantic. The AI created an image of a couple sitting outside of a café, which could be located in Little Italy, New York. Pre-pandemic, millions of Italians would flock to the US for vacation, but that number has since fallen to 135,000 in 2021
English tourists
Americans must think the English have just as much pride for their country as they do. The AI created a snapshot of two men wearing their flag proudly. The U.S. recorded roughly 730 thousand travelers from the United Kingdom in 2020
Greek tourist
Americans must think all Greek tourists will jump at any opportunity to remove their shirts. The AI created an image of this man from Greece who is visiting Texas while on vacation

American’s views about German tourists must be that they all have blond hair and blue eyes. The man in this picture is also wearing what appears to be a traditional German hat while the two are visiting a festival in the US
