Heading to Mexico soon? Take some extra cash to tip the hardworking staff!

Minimum wage is going up in Mexico in 2025 (by 12%). This means that minimum wage for an 8 hour DAY (not hour) is 278.80MXN or approximately $13USD PER DAY.

Even just a small tip can make such a difference in a person's life. Yes, gratuities are included in most all-inclusive resort reservations, but they are spread out among all the staff. The staff work so hard... long hours & rarely getting a day off. Many are supporting extended families as well. US dollars or Mexican Pesos are both accepted and appreciated for tips. See the chart below for tipping recommendations for all-inclusive vacations at any destination.

When you book with a travel agent, you’re not only guaranteeing yourself personal service and expert advice, but you’re also supporting a small business that’s proud to “Shop local. Travel global” … just like you. Small businesses like mine put an average of 67 cents of every dollar back into our communities, and I'm proud to be a part of your town and this year’s Small Business Saturday.
