# Global Etiquette Guides Zendesk's Infographic Details the Expected Etiquette Around the Globe By Megan Facciuolo | Published 2014-06-15 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etiquette-guides References: [designtaxi](http://designtaxi.com/news/366369/Infographic-35-Etiquette-Tips-For-10-Different-Countries/) & [zendesk](https://www.zendesk.com/blog/global-manners) Zendesk came up with an infographic that contains little etiquette guides in order to make travelling an easier experience for its customers. Different cultures have different beliefs, thus there are varied etiquette expectations from country to country. This guide will make you mindful of others while travelling and will probably enhance your quality of trip. Its simple cultural facts, such as removing your shoes before you enter a home in India and never pouring a drink for yourself in Japan, will make the inhabitants respect you more. Many of the mannerisms are practiced world-wide and are generally assumed by those who practice good manners, but you may find others quite outlandish. For example, in China it's rude to finish your entire meal. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Cross-cultural Etiquette:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop mobile apps or online platforms that offer cross-cultural etiquette guides to help travelers navigate different cultural customs. - **Cultural Sensitivity:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create training programs or consulting services that educate businesses on cultural sensitivity to improve global business relations. - **Personalized Customer Experience:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Build AI-powered chatbots or customer service solutions that provide personalized etiquette recommendations based on a traveler's destination. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Travel and Tourism:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop smart luggage equipped with cultural etiquette reminders or apps to enhance the travel experience. - **Education and Training:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create online courses or virtual reality simulations that teach cross-cultural etiquette to professionals working in international business. - **Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design augmented reality apps or wearable devices that provide real-time cultural etiquette guidance while interacting with people from different cultures. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Lavatory Travel Guides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/encycloopedia.md) - [Immersive Culinary Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immersive-culinary-experiences.md) - [Travel-Focused Marketing Guides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiktok-5.md) - [Business Traveler Wellness Guides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corporate-traveler.md) - [Travel Story Visuals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-wrapped.md) - [Immersive Chinese Culinary Productions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taste-of-china.md) - [Cultural Dining Discovery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/authfoodmaps.md) - [Multilingual Restaurant Reservation Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tabelog-app.md) - [Thinking Emoji Guides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thinking-emoji.md)
