What the 2026 data says about tipping abroad
One percentage does not travel well. The clearest lesson from the data is to check the specific service first—and the bill before adding anything extra.
No-tipping countries can still have travel-specific exceptions
Among the 34 destinations where tipping is generally not expected, 24 list a percentage or fixed reference amount for hotel staff or tour guides. Only two list a percentage tip for restaurants.
Examples: China, France, Italy, Indonesia, Malaysia, Netherlands. Tourism-facing services may follow different customs from everyday dining.
Taxi tipping usually means rounding up
Rounding up—not calculating a restaurant-style percentage—is the published taxi guidance in 126 of 140 destinations. A small, convenient gesture rather than another large charge.
At restaurants, check the bill first
Ten percent is the most frequently listed exact restaurant tip, appearing in 43 destinations. Another 38 use a range that includes 10%. But there is no universal rate: 21 destinations say service is included, while 29 recommend simply rounding up.
Calculated from Tipping Rules version 2026.9 editorial dataset. This summarizes published guidance—not survey results, legal requirements or instructions to tip in every situation.

About this guide
This guide summarizes common tipping etiquette for restaurants, taxis, hotel staff and tour guides. The label beneath each destination describes its overall tipping culture; guidance for individual services may differ.
We compare current travel, local and official guidance where available. Sources support the research for each destination as a whole and may not cover every service shown. This is editorial guidance—not a survey of what travelers actually tip or a ranking of destinations.
