Interesting Facts

A study into tipping etiquette by TripAdvisor revealed that three-quarters of Britons don't research tipping customs before holidaying abroad. (As a result, 15% said they had been confronted by staff for not leaving a tip and 6% said their holiday had been ruined because of this type of experience. Leave a tip, then you won't get into trouble, I can't imagine anyone complaining because you've left a tip.)

A new study by TripAdvisor has revealed that Spanish tourists are the least generous when it comes to tipping on holiday. (80% of Spanish travellers questioned said that they did not always tip when they visited other countries. They were closely followed by 78% of Italians and 76% of French, while 57% of British people surveyed said that they didn't always reward service staff. I worked as a waitress once, so I usually tip, but not if the service was really bad.)
