Tipping

Tipping

Today, attitudes towards tipping are changing. Although the practice is
not officially recognised, tips are now frequently offered to and
accepted by travel guides, tour bus drivers, porters and waiters in
top-class hotels and restaurants.

However, tipping is still not expected in most restaurants and hotels. So
ask the guide whether a tip is necessary and how much when you are
uncertain. Sometimes, small gifts such as paperbacks, cassette tapes and
western cigarettes appear to be preferred. Note that it is part of the
polite ritual that any gift or tip initially will be firmly rejected.

Consumer taxes are included in price tags on goods but big hotels and
fine restaurants may include a service charge of 10% or more.
