Global Tip Chart โ€“ Tipping Guidelines To Follow

I recently came across this handy โ€ฆ

๐Ÿ“Š Global Tip Chart Infographic ๐Ÿ“Š

I thought would be worth passing on.ย ย 

Are you heading away on vacation to a unfamiliar and foreign place, and not quite sure on what the;

{Expected ๐Ÿ’ฐ Tipping Customs} are, for your chosen destination? โ“

Well, I generally donโ€™t concern myself too much with this and normally just use a standard percentage. But if you are traveling to Asia for example, you may want to have a closer look.ย 

First, check out this short ๐Ÿ“น video on tipping from one of my favorite โ€“ Travel Experts.

Tips Satisfactory Service Rendered โ€“ Global Tip Chart Recommendations

When I travel, I do like to leave a Tip (Gratuity), when I am satisfied that I have received service worthy of one in the first place.

After years of travel and working in the service industry, I know how important {Tips} are to most service industry workers around the world.

I do however, expect to receive ๐Ÿ™‚ Service With a Smile, ๐Ÿ™‚ before I even think of leaving a tip!

World English Dictionaryย 

Dictionary Picture

Gratuity โ€ฆ

โžก A gift or reward, usually of money, for services rendered; tip

โžก Something given without claim or obligation

โžก A gift or reward for services received.

โ“ If I do not receive a service with satisfactory results, should you still have to pay a reward for poor service โ“

In My Opinion โ€ฆ Absolutely Not!

If you do receive that service favorably, then yes!ย 

If customary, you should tip what is appropriate for that country.ย 

I always suggest to include gratuities in your travel budget, especially on those โ€ฆย 

๐Ÿ›ณย All Inclusive Cruise Deals ๐Ÿ›ณ

that you may be booking for example.

Global Tip Chart & Gratuity Guidelines

Have a quick look at the ๐Ÿ“Š chart below, that offers a simple guide to tipping for a number of countries around the world.

It focuses generally on the {Three Most Common Services} one would normally use when traveling.

Restaurants โ€ฆ Accommodations โ€ฆ Taxis

Global Tip Chart

As you can see from the next chart below, the country to pay particular attention to is Asia.

It appears that Japan and China are the two nations to watch for, as their local customs may consider this to be rude in some parts.

If in doubt, always ask a local at your hotel, a shop or business you may be visiting.

Gratuity Guidelines

On one of our pastย โ€ฆ

๐ŸŒ…ย Family Holidays to Thailand ๐ŸŒ…

we found that tipping was common throughout the country, and greatly appreciated as well!ย 

A very small tip even in their local currency, goes a long way in Thailand.ย 

This especially so, if you are returning to a favorite restaurant or bar, more than once. ๐Ÿ™‚

CVS Tours Bus Driver

Along with the services mentioned in the chart above, there a few other very common services provided when traveling, that do and should be worthy of tipping.

For example โ€ฆ

โœ” Bellhops and/or Porters

โœ” Chambermaids and / or Cabin Attendants

โœ” Tour Guides

โœ” Tour Bus Drivers

These are just a few of the more common services that you are likely to encounter on your holiday or business travel, that should be considered in your tipping budget.ย 

Again, if you are satisfied with the level of service received, a small gratuity helps these individuals greatly!

I always try to deliver my gratuity to these types of individuals directly or in person.

This, so I am absolutely sure this person is receiving my gratitude and not someone else by mistake, or otherwise.ย  As well, I always try to carry a few small bills in my pocket at all times. This way, I am prepared to leave a tip and not be caught empty handed, which can be embarrassing at times. ๐Ÿ˜•

Final Thoughts Banner

One last note on tipping and also listed in the charts above. Be sure toย look at your service bills carefully!ย 

What seems to be occurring more frequently, is service charges are automatically added to your bill.ย This is something I have run across many times, for a number of different types of services, especially during our most recent travels.
