TIPS FOR TIPPING


Wherever you travel you might want to know if you are in a country where tipping is customary and required. You might wonder if it’s appreciated but not at all expected. Sometimes you might be surpriesed as it seam is is virtually unheard-of? The truth is, tipping rules vary by country, by region, and by scenario. A modest rounding up of the check may be fine in some places and insufficient in others. A few small bills left on a night table might be gladly picked up by housecleaning staff in one hotel and scrupulously shunned elsewhere. Such uncertainties can throw an uneasy shadow over even the most exhilarating jaunt in a new land. To ease up your worries we’ve selected some tipping tips from around the globe. The destinations chosen do not represent all the places, but at least give you a hint on how to tip traveling the globe.



GENERAL TIPS FOR TIPPINGGenerally tipping below 15% is appropriate, when, and only when, the server has been outwardly rude and obviously failed in their position.




Generally a base 15% says ‘you did your job’. If the server has performed beyond your standards, then 20% says ‘Thanks, that was fun’ and 25% or above says ‘That recommendation was great! And thanks for laughing at my not so funny joke’


GENERAL TIPS FOR TIPPING



Dubai's government mandates adding a 10 percent service charge to all bills at hotels, restaurants, and bars but feel free to top it off with a few dirhams


DUBAI TIPS FOR TIPPING



If restaurant service is really good, leave a few more dollars. In hotels, if you really want to express appreciation it’s best to give a small gift from the United States (a T-shirt or hat bearing the name of an American city or sports team).


IRANIAN TIPS FOR TIPPING



In Morrocan restaurants ten percent is generous, but check to make sure the service isn't included in the bill. In Morocco tipping is best done quietly, perhaps off to the side. It’s best to do the furtive handshake-with-cash-in-palm move, accompanied by a smile and a thank-you.


MORROCAN TIPS FOR TIPPING



In Brazil 10 percent is routinely included in the bill for "servico" but if you want to top that remember that Brazilians are discreet and subtle when it comes to business transactions. It's helpful when tipping someone not to make a great display. You might verbally thank them, shake their hand, and express your appreciation while handing the bills folded.


BRAZILIAN TIPS FOR TIPPING



In Canada, as in the United States, the gratuity isn't included, so you can tip the standard 15 to 20 percent, depending on the service. The US Dollars are accepted as long as you use paper money, not U.S. coins.


CANADIAN TIPS FOR TIPPING



A 10 percent tip is included in the bill; feel free to put down a few more bills amounting to another 5 percent. Nicer restaurants may also charge a 5 to 7 percent cubierto, basically a sit-down charge.


CHILEAN TIPS FOR TIPPING



Don't get embarrassed when you’ll experience an unusually effusive thanks for a tip here. Especially that a tip of about $1 per diner for the waiter is just in order and enough.


CAMBODIAN TIPS FOR TIPPING



The law of the land, and the rule at many hotels nad restaurants, is no tipping whatsoever.


CHINESE TIPS FOR TIPPING



A 10 percent tip is included. The locals will also top it with any loose change thrown down. You should do the same, up to maybe 15 percent total.


INDONESIAN TIPS FOR TIPPING



Though it's largely a non-tipping society, providers of certain services may appreciate a tip, but only in yen (estimate a little more than 100 yen to the dollar).


JAPANESE TIPS FOR TIPPING



There's really no tipping culture in South Korea. Of course, if you really love the service and you want to do something extra, you might tip, but it’s not expected of you.


KOREAN TIPS FOR TIPPING



A common feature in Thailand is the ubiquitous bathroom attendant. Some of them might even throw a towel over a man's shoulders while he's at the urinal. Fifty cents, or about 20 baht, should do it there.


THAI TIPS FOR TIPPING



There's usually a service charge, but consider tipping on top of it–up to 15 percent total. When it comes to good service, Czechs get it as they regularly serve the British market. English is widely spoken there, and they'll find a way to make things special for you. So tip ahead.


CZECH TIPS FOR TIPPING



The words service compris on your bill mean no tip is required, but most locals leave up to 10 percent in coins. Tipping at bars is not expected.


FRENCH TIPS FOR TIPPING



Since the introduction of the euro, tipping expectations have become considerably inflated, because people tend to round up to the next euro. So just round up, plus a little more for excellent service—say, to the fives (25 euros for a 22-euro meal).


GREEK TIPS FOR TIPPING



At Russian restaurants give 10 percent in cash directly to the waiter; leave it on the table and management might pocket it.


RUSSIAN TIPS FOR TIPPING



Tipping here is fairly formalized; either the service is included in the bill, or tipping isn't done.


SCANDINAVIAN TIPS FOR TIPPING




Hello Fellow Traveller,

Travel World Passport has been created by people hungry to discover the world. We have formed a web framework to save

travel memories. It was born out of continuous search for inspiration. While we appreciate the satisfaction exploration brings, we have a strong conviction that the when looking for true inspiration, we often found it difficult information available online

was scattered and often inaccessible.

The most valuable and remarkable travel inspiration and information is available on travel blogs, but for those who do not

follow them on a regular basis it is hard to keep track of. Our mission is now to gather the most valuable, relevant and useful

travel content in one place, where it is indexed and easily searchable.

So for those, who are not satisfied with the way travel content is being presented online our product is a web framework to

save and digest travel information around the stories of real travelers. It provides the necessary inspiration and contains

information to start your journey. Our belief is that travel is about the feeling and the experiences, not the place. Those thoughts and believes are reflected in all the aspects of our work. And that feeling inspires us to be free, travel and do great

things. We hope it will inspire you, too.
