How to Tip Appropriately When Traveling to Mexico

Tipping can be a headache as it's not always certain what the proper etiquette is for different services. This ambiguity is amplified when having to travel for business to another country.

MexicoExpo offers great advice on tipping practices in Mexico:

"Unlike the United States where tipping is often 20% of the bill amount, tipping in Mexico is often done on a smaller scale. Generally speaking, a tip of 10% is standard in Mexico, although there are times when tipping more or less may be justified.

Porters that help carry your bag from the airport to your transportation, or to your hotel room also deserve a tip. Giving a dollar for 2 or 3 bags is acceptable, maybe a little more if you have a lot of luggage."

Those are just a few tidbits of tipping etiquette in Mexico, find out more at MexicoExpo.
