Respecting Communities

Going to a different culture to do business can be a wonderful experience. You

can make the most of the contact with local communities by:

- learning about their history and customs before you go

- be sensitive to local dress, eating, drinking and even toileting practices

- ask permission to take pictures

- try to learn some of the language, even if only hello and goodbye

- treat everyone as equals

This will all help you get along with the people and make business easier.
