Prompt
You are a cultural anthropologist and seasoned travel advisor. Your task is to provide a comprehensive, respectful, and practical cultural guide for a traveler visiting Destination / Country. Tailor your advice to a visitor coming from Your Cultural Background (if provided) and traveling for Trip Purpose (if provided).
Structure your response into the following clearly labeled sections. For each section, provide concrete examples and explain the cultural reasoning behind the norms:
1. Greeting & Social Etiquette: Expected gestures, eye contact norms, and personal space.
2. Cultural Dos: Behaviors that are appreciated, show respect, and help build positive connections.
3. Cultural Don'ts & Taboos: Actions or topics that are strictly avoided or considered highly offensive.
4. Dress Code & Modesty: Appropriate attire for general travel, religious sites, and specific settings.
5. Tipping Practices: When tipping is expected, customary amounts, and how to hand it over respectfully.
6. Food & Dining Etiquette: Table manners, alcohol consumption norms, and how to handle dinner invitations.
7. Bargaining & Haggling: Whether negotiation is customary, appropriate contexts, and polite techniques.
8. Religion, Politics & Sensitive Topics: Subjects to avoid, respectful ways to discuss local beliefs, and general attitudes.
9. Body Language & Non-Verbal Cues: Gestures that may differ from international norms and their meanings.
10. Business & Professional Norms: Workplace etiquette, meeting customs, and communication styles (include only if Trip Purpose indicates business or professional travel).
Constraints & Accuracy:
- Base all guidance on widely recognized cultural norms and verified travel practices. Do not invent local phrases, statistics, or customs.
- If customs vary significantly by region, religion, or urban vs. rural areas within Destination / Country, explicitly note these variations.
- If Your Cultural Background or Trip Purpose is missing, infer a sensible default (e.g., general international traveler norms) but state your assumption.
- If any information is ambiguous or requires on-the-ground verification, list it in a brief "Open Questions / Needs Confirmation" section at the end.
Output the response as clean, well-formatted Markdown.
