Популярнейший туристический информационный ресурс TriрadvisorI conducted a survey among my users to find out how many tip tourists leave during a vacation in Greece, to whom pay most often and what criteria are governed by, deciding whether to leave staff to tea or not.
According to the study, guests of Greece every year bring to the service personnel of the country about 100 million euros. Most tip employees of bars, restaurants, hotels, etc. receive from Americans who tend to give thanks even for services whose level did not match their wishes.
A total of 25 thousand users took part in the study. site, which told in detail about where and under what conditions they prefer to leave money “for tea”. More than half interviewed during their holiday in Greece for services rendered leave an average of 10 euros.
The most generous were the guests from the United States, 60% of whom Be sure to thank the staff. On the second and third place – residents of Germany and Brazil: 49% and 33% respectively. Of the total number of Spanish guests tip to leave only 30%, followed by Russians on the list – 28%, and British – 26%. Least of all employees of the tourism industry in Greece receive a tip from the French (only 15% of the respondents) and Italians – eleven%.
Judging by the data of Triradvisor, the American respondents are more just satisfied with the service and food in restaurants and eateries of Greece, after all, 98% of respondents leave tips in food establishments. A little bit less – 81%, said that they leave the extra money to taxi drivers. 79% Americans also regularly thank the porters in hotels. Not the room service staff (73%), bartenders and waiters (71%), as well as cleaners, who tip 69% of tourists from USA. However, not all hotel staff feel generous and the gratitude of the guests – for example, the staff serving the pools, receives tips only from 7% of American guests, and employees gyms and even less – from 2% of guests.
According to the study, Americans pay extra money is not due to exceptional service in the resorts of Greece. A third of the polled tourists admitted that they left a tip, since felt obliged to do it, and even if the level of services rendered them not quite satisfied.
