The porter's job is limited to carrying or moving luggage for the clients. The bellhop (bellboy) does the same thing, but his job expands to doing other services for the clients, such as getting newspapers and running other errands.

Bellhops tend to earn more tips as their duties continue throughout the visitor's stay at the hotel. The porter is there only at the beginning and the end.
