Do you tip in MEXICO?
Mexico is a destination that has something for every type of traveller. Beautiful beaches, majestic mountains, ancient cultures and the famously lively and friendly locals make it a must-visit country to tick off anyone’s bucket list.
Much like their next-door neighbours in the USA, tipping is a requirement in Mexico and the etiquette is actually quite similar to the USA and Canada. Many locals in Mexico rely on the tips of tourists to supplement their low incomes, so even a small tip can go a long way in helping them greatly.
