Tipping around 5-10% is standard in restaurants. Dress modestly away from the beach. It's customary to greet with a handshake and maintain polite formality with elders.

Petty theft can occur in crowded areas and on the beaches, watch your belongings. Avoid poorly lit or deserted areas at night, especially outside the center. Scams targeting tourists are rare but possible with unauthorized taxis.
