Tipping is not encouraged in Fiji and it is left to
the individual to determine whether to make a gratuity.
Some resorts operate a staff Christmas fund. Though tipping
is not a local custom, you will find local people tipping.
This has as much to do with social attitudes as it does
recognition of the excellence of service. Fijians ritually
exchange gifts of food, clothing, "yaqona", "tabua", kerosene,
and even money during important social occasions, so that
tipping can be seen in the light of sharing. It can denote
a person of affluence who is generous. But it must be emphasised
that at all times it is a question of individual choice.
