Tourists don't really represent the cream of the crop. Nor do they represent the most culturally afluent segment of any society. That said, english being what it is, it may not be your accent, but your use of colloquialisms, which do not always translate across cultures, even ones that speak the same language.
I think tourists come from all walks of life - as far as I know, highly educated intelligent people have holidays just as much as those of little education and/or intelligence. The destination may vary, of course.
