Matters needing attention in American tourism

1, tip In the United States, almost all service items will have the habit of paying for consumption. If you don't tip, you will be regarded as disrespectful by the local people and will probably be refused service next time.

Generally speaking, when dining in a restaurant, you need to pay a tip of 15% of the meal fee; If it's a bar, you should give it to the bartender 1 USD for every glass of wine you order. Take a taxi and pay an extra 15% as the driver's tip; Hotel cleaners also need to tip 2-3 dollars a day, and the person who helps you with your luggage also needs to tip 1 dollar.

2. Custom taboos. As an immigrant country, the United States respects the customs of all ethnic groups and has no special taboos. It should be noted that since each state in the United States has its own laws and there are certain differences, free travellers should pay attention to the differences in traffic regulations. It should also be noted that smoking is not allowed in government buildings, most vehicles, public places and most indoors. Many non-smoking hotels are equipped with testing equipment.

3. Safety. Many cities in the United States have a high crime rate, but crimes are mainly concentrated in specific blocks of the city. As tourists from China carry a lot of cash, they are concerned by pickpockets, and property theft happens from time to time. Generally speaking, the western part of the United States is safer than the eastern part, outside the city is safer than the city, and during the day is safer than at night. You can't bring too much cash. Don't resist when you are robbed. If the loss is too great, you can call the police afterwards.
