In the age of tip fatigue, many are bewildered by how much to tip in hotels and restaurants and on guided tours. Customs in foreign countries complicate the picture. Here's some advice from experts. Not long into the pandemic, Americans were eager to tip their front-line-working baristas and servers. But now that tip fatigue has set in — driven by the proliferation of payment tablets that suggest tipping for everything from a sandwich at a grab-and-go counter to an ultrasound — consumers are often bewildered by when and how much to tip. "This is the hottest topic in etiquette right now," said Daniel Post Senning, the co-author of "Emily Post Etiquette, The Centennial Edition" and the great-great grandson of the etiquette icon Emily Post. He cites the pressure of inflation, the disruption of the pandemic and the rush back to travel for the unease. "There's growing anxiety and public discussion around tipping."

Nestled in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains and backboned by one of the most pronounced celebrity forces of our time, Dollywood is an anomaly of a theme park. Dolly Parton's namesake oasis seamlessly blends mountain heritage—including a heavy dose of mythologizing the musical icon herself—with industry-forward experiences, like record-breaking attractions and luxury accommodations. Since its humble start in 1986, the East Tennessee property has swelled to include a theme park, water park, four-star resort and spa, and dinner shows. Located just 6 miles from Parton's childhood home, it's been a driving force for unprecedented growth in the area, drawing in about 3 million visitors annually and serving as the largest employer in Sevier County (population: roughly 100,000). Undoubtedly no longer a regional park, Dollywood has positioned itself to become a premier theme park destination that can comfortably be held in the same regard as Disneyland or Walt Disne...

Read park rules to know what little is off-limits — or complete the (ahem) Bark Ranger Program, after which rangers will swear in your pupper (and you can buy a commemorative collar tag). On Bar Harbor's Main Street, Bark Harbor has a huge selection of fancy house-made treats. 207-288-3338. Fore River Sanctuary, Portland Dog owners love this 85-acre preserve, where dogs under voice command are allowed off leash. Find 2½ miles of wooded trails, as well as the city's only natural waterfall — a great spot for dogs to play in the water. Entrances on Rowe Ave., Hillcrest Ave., and Starbird Ln. 207-775-2411.
