Understanding the customs, cultures and etiquette of the people you are visiting will help make your trip more enjoyable and may prevent some unpleasant experiences. Some cultures will be similar to your own and some will be very different. We have found some good resources on the web to help you. We also include Culture links on many of our Place and City Toolbars for countries and cities of the world in our World Links section. Most travel guides and travel websites with country and city information also include some information on local customs. Although we have both a Personal and Business Travel Etiquette section on this page, most of the Business Travel Etiquette rules apply to personal travel as well. |
