Seven Countries Where Tipping Can Be an Insult.

Tipping is a common practice in many countries, but there are places where it is not only unwelcome, but sometimes even considered an insult. If you plan to travel, it is important to know where tipping may be unacceptable to avoid awkward situations.

There are seven countries where they only want to hear 'thank you' and no tips. There, tipping for customer service is considered a rude act, writes express.

Japan

In recent years, the number of visitors to the Sakura Land is growing at a geometric rate. However, despite the large number of people who would like to thank for the good service, for the residents of Japan, service is an art and is well paid.

China

In another Asian country, tipping is not widespread. The Chinese do not perceive small money as gratitude.

'Some tourist places may accept tips, but this is generally unexpected. Modest tips to guides are an exception,' experts commented.

South Korea

More than 11 million people visited South Korea. In this country, tipping is not banned, and it can be left on one condition - small sums. Here, rounding up the bill is allowed, 'but larger tips are considered inappropriate.'

In particular, in South Korea, in hotels and tourist areas, the service charge is already included in the price, so tips are not necessary.

Singapore

In this country, they advise not even hinting at a desire to financially thank for the service. The residents of Singapore mostly perceive tipping as rudeness. Moreover, the service charge is usually included in the bill right away.

Iceland

The country, which is surrounded by the ocean on all sides, ranks among the leaders in various quality of life assessments. Therefore, tipping is not accepted, as Icelanders are focused on fairly paid labor. 'Locals might be confused by attempts to tip,' experts say.

Cuba

This little-explored part of the world constantly lures new tourists. However, the social-communist ideology despises the culture of tipping.

Switzerland

In the state, which is located almost in the center of Europe, it is also not customary to thank for service with money. However, in Switzerland, they will not mind if the bill is simply rounded up. Here, this is considered an act of politeness.

Spanish Coast

The Spanish coast attracts travelers from all over the world with sunny beaches, delicious food, and diverse active recreation.

But it is also important to know the bans that apply on the beaches. Otherwise, you could get a hefty fine.
