Turkey is one of nice countries. You can have a lot of nice surprises during travels. Education level is very high. Tourism schools are active for college level staffs.

China is just one of several countries where tips had been uncommon but where an increasing number of service workers are expecting them.
Americans routinely tip while abroad, and that, according to Forni and other experts, is driving the trend. And, as practices change, many business travelers are finding it all very baffling. Forni calls tipping abroad "a territory fraught with awkward moments."

Business travelers' confusion is understandable, says Lynn Staneff who compiled a tipping guide for 70 countries for Magellan's, which sells travel supplies from two California stores and a website. Tipping is common in some countries, not done in others, or only done in some cities, she says. Whom to tip varies by country.

"I have absolutely no idea what to tip outside the USA," says professional speaker Sue Hershkowitz-Coore, of Scottsdale, Ariz.

Tipping practices are "in a constant state of change, so what was appropriate the last time you visited a foreign destination may be inappropriate the next time you go," Staneff says.
