Travellers advised on how to tip in Croatia

24 June 2009

For Americans, tipping people who provide a good service is a natural occurrence - but the culture is different in Croatia.

Travel expert Franklin Xuereb told Examiner.com that people who choose to holiday in Croatia may not always need to leave a tip after they have enjoyed a meal or other refreshments.

He said that if tips are left in Croatian restaurants or cafes, they generally comprise a "small amount" of money.

"It is only in the tourist areas which servers may be expecting a tip," he explained. "In remote areas unexplored by tourists, leaving a tip is generally unheard of."

In other monetary-related news earlier this year, the UK's Post Office reported that the Croatian kuna was one of its best-selling foreign exchange markets during the first quarter of 2009.

This suggests that more Britons could be embarking on a Croatia travel experience in the coming months.
