People working in tourism are dependent on tip.
- Inquire on the spot, whether it is common to give tips and how high they are usually. This can vary from region to region.
- Suitcase carriers, chambermaids, waitresses and waiters often can't live on their wages alone. Give a generous tip if the service was good, but don't exaggerate. You might give rise to false expectations.
- If the service was bad, give less or don't tip at all. Explain in a friendly way, and without arrogance, why you were not content with the service .
- Don't ever get involved in bribery. You would only contribute to corruption, a more "sophisticated" way of begging and fraud.
