Uzbekistan is a country famous for its sincere cordiality and hospitality. Each person visiting this blessed land feels all-round care and a desire to receive guests in the best way, providing maximum comfort without a single share of self-interest. Residents of Uzbekistan sacredly honor ancient traditions, one of which is hospitality in its best form. Many tourists try to sincerely thank the owners for the warm welcome, which causes Uzbeks a little bewilderment. After all, all their actions come from the heart.
Tipping in Uzbekistan
However, in Uzbekistan, as in a country with a developed tourism industry, there are service workers. These are guides, translators, waiters and other employees. The comfort and pleasant experience of tourists and guests of Uzbekistan directly depends on their professionalism. As elsewhere in the world, it is customary to give “tips” for quality services rendered. And this is normal. Such a gesture of gratitude will be accepted and appreciated by service workers.
When you are really satisfied with the service in Bukhara restaurants, cafes, hotels, or you liked the services of translators, guides, drivers, then a cash reward will be the best expression of your gratitude. If you have a sincere desire to thank the employee in cash, this will be quite appropriate. The amount of reward can be any, at your discretion.
