Narrative:
When I just landed at ZZZ; ground gave me instruction to taxi via bravo-echo (for refueling). So after that I went to the parking spot and parked my plane; and one gentleman from [the FBO] came and told me to move my plane all the way to the end to park my plane because the current place is for helipad (in my defense they didn't put any sign for the helipad; etc.); so I agreed to taxi the plane to the very end of their parking spot.when I am taxiing until the end; my parking spot was on the right side; the ground crew from [the FBO] gave me a turn sign (turn lights sign); instead of turn off the plane; so we can tow the plane and park (give an X sign).before I can proceed my turn; I was pointed to the jet airplane that parked on my left side and the ground crew keep giving a sign for me to turn (because the ground crew parked his golf cart on the right side of my wings). With caution I proceeded to turn and I collide with the very tip part of the jet airplane wing. Before the accident happened there wasn't any cones around the jet plane.as the pilot-in-command I failed to secure the safety of my aircraft; and will evaluate this as part of learning process for me to be a safe and professional pilot.
