What are the guidelines on tipping whilst abroad...?

Question

We're off on our holiday soon and was wondering what the general guidelines are on tipping whilst abroad? A couple of things to consider. We're off to Cyprus and we're going all-inclusive so do we still tip even though we won't be paying for our drinks?

Can anyone give me some advice? Thanks

It would be worth your while to pick up a tour book for Cyprus, as every place has its own customs and mores.  Try a Fodor's or similar to give you some idea of what's expected.

I think no matter where you are, though, it's considerate to tip even if you're not paying outright for your drinks.  But check out a tour book to find out what amounts are customary for Cyprus.
