FYI
Tipping is generally allowed and accepted in Vanuatu, though it is not mandatory or a deeply ingrained cultural practice. Here are some points regarding tipping in Vanuatu:

1. **Tourism Influence**: As a popular tourist destination, tipping has become more common in the service industry, particularly in hotels, restaurants, and with tour guides. Visitors often tip as a way to express gratitude for good service.

2. **Local Customs**: While tipping is appreciated, it is not expected in the same way it might be in countries like the United States. Many locals may not anticipate tips, but they certainly appreciate them when given, especially in areas heavily frequented by tourists.

3. **Common Practices**: In restaurants, a tip of around 10% is considered generous, especially if the service was exceptional. Tour guides and drivers also appreciate tips, particularly if they provide a memorable experience.

4. **Cash Tips**: Tipping is typically done in cash rather than added to a bill, as many smaller establishments may not have systems in place to handle credit card tips.

5. **Cultural Sensitivity**: When tipping in Vanuatu, it’s essential to be mindful of local customs and practices, as well as the socio-economic context. Providing a tip should be a gesture of appreciation rather than an obligation.

In summary, while tipping is allowed and often appreciated in Vanuatu, it remains a personal choice rather than a standard expectation.
