Which countries do I need to tip?

We know that when we travel, we often tip some service personnel, which is a courtesy, but it is not very common in China, so we don't care much, but it is a necessary courtesy in some countries, and we also have to tip. See which countries need tips!

Asian country

China

As we all know, hotels in China have no habit of tipping.

But it doesn't mean that China doesn't have this tradition. Since ancient times, there has been a reward custom similar to tipping, which is called "rewarding money". The reward targets are not only hotel waiters, but also nuns, footmen, page attendants and so on.

Korea, Japan

There is generally no need to tip in hotels, and some waiters even think it is very impolite to tip.

Thailand

The hotel must tip, just 20~30 baht. Thailand's consumption is generally low, and tipping is not painful. I advise you not to save this money, but to give it generously! But remember never to give coins, because in Thailand, coins are for beggars. People will think you don't respect them.

Singapore

As a Southeast Asian country, hotels in Singapore do not need to tip. Tipping can make people feel poor service.

India

If you don't tip, you may be forced to ask for a tip. In the hotel, if every piece of luggage needs to be carried, please pay Rs. 50, and tip the room attendant. 200 a day. Just put it by the bed.

In India, you may be forced to tip. For example, in the bathroom, someone will politely hand you a tissue. If you let nature take its course, the paper towel delivery person will reach out and ask you for a tip. Give it to him. 10~20. If you really don't want to give it, please don't take anything.

turkey

In this country, if you hear someone tell you Bakschisch, it means to tip you. In a hotel, if it is considered impolite not to tip at all, you should give a little.

European countries

Generally speaking, in European countries, tipping is not mandatory, because service charges are often included in your expenses, such as meals. But give it to the waiter sincerely, and the waiter will be very happy.

England, England

Although the tipping culture was developed in Britain, the tipping consciousness in Britain is not so strong now, and you don't have to pay for accommodation in ordinary hotels. If you stay in a high-end hotel, the bellboy will pay 1-2 for each piece of luggage, and the cleaning staff will pay 1-2 for each day.

France

You don't have to tip in the hotel, but guests can also leave some tips on the bedside table. You'd better give it in person, or return it as lost property.

Germany

No, here you are. But if you ask the staff to provide extra services, such as taking luggage and delivering food, you need to give a little. German paper money is printed with 5 euros, and two or three yuan of steel coins are used to send beggars. I'm a little embarrassed, but if I want to pay them back, I have to give them five dollars.

Greece

Before leaving, the hotel guests should personally give the hotel staff a certain tip, about 1 euro to the staff who carry the box.

Africa

In Africa, tipping is the lubricant of interpersonal relationships. If you don't tip $65,438 +0 to $2 a day in the hotel, your room won't be cleaned.

North America

United States Canada

Tipping is an unwritten rule. Be sure to give it!

In various occasions in the United States and Canada, tips are a dime a dozen. If you don't eat when you should eat, you can hardly move. Don't forget to eat, travel and stay in hotels. In addition, people who carry suitcases can get 1 Canadian dollars for each piece of luggage, while in the United States, it is only 1-2 Canadian dollars. You have to pay the cleaning lady one or two yuan for accommodation every night.

If you are not staying in a three-star hotel, you can usually put 1 USD on the table before going out. If you stay in a three-star hotel or above, it will cost several dollars or more.

How to tip?

Parking attendant

Generally speaking, we should tip every time we park in the parking lot. The standard tip in the parking lot is usually 2-5 dollars.

Porter (at the railway station)

The porter's work is very heavy, so tipping shows your appreciation for his hard work. It is appropriate to tip $5 or more, depending on one's financial strength.

Hotel reception

Tips are very small, of course, it is not impossible. If you think the customer service is sincere in providing quality service, tipping is also good.

room service

A tip of $5 per day is appropriate, because the cleaning staff may be different every day during your stay in the hotel. Leave $5 a day to make sure everyone is taken into account. Don't embarrass employees by sharing tips equally in shifts.

Hotel staff

Like the tip in a restaurant, it is about 5%~ 10% of the meal fee.

Swimming pool staff

It is polite to tip the person who pays for you. So when someone gives you a cold towel in a hot swimming pool, you should give a little tip to show your gratitude. As for tip lifeguards, I have never heard of them.

Hotel doorman

Some guests choose to tip when they arrive at the hotel, while others leave. At the critical moment, you can ask them to help you book a popular restaurant. It's worth your money, 5~20 dollars is no problem.

In some cases, you should also consider tipping other hotel employees. Like diligent security guards who track lost things. Although you don't have to tip everyone.

Tipping needs to be done properly, otherwise it will be self-defeating. If you can give it in person, give it in person, and then give the waiter a smile and say thank you.

The general cleaning staff will not take away the money left in the room without authorization. A traveler went to Bangkok and left hundreds of baht (some change, but he forgot to bring it) on the hotel table. The room was cleaned, and he didn't take any money. Fortunately, it was not used as a tip.

Bian Xiao has solved this problem. If you want to travel to countries that need tips, don't be stingy with your money!
