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.
