Which countries should I tip? How much do they usually tip?

When traveling abroad, everyone will be more concerned about whether to give consumption. In fact, the standards of tipping in different countries are different. Here are some tips from different countries. Let's have a look.

Countries that need to pay tips

Tipping is the main source of their income. They earn a lot of money and need to pay taxes to the government.
