One of the best things about travel is being able to immerse yourself within new cultures and learn about the world. Culture Smart guides offer essential information on attitudes, beliefs and behaviours in different countries so that you can get prepared before you travel. They provide valuable information on the traditions and culture of countries around the world so that you are completely prepared for your destination before you arrive.

Their aim is to give their readers a level of cultural fluency, so that no matter what your reason for travelling, you are well equipped to approach each situation with confidence and sensitivity.

Culture Guides

The guides are thorough, and designed so that you can look up whichever chapter you need for quick reference whenever you need it. Or you can read it all in one go for a complete overview.

Short, sharp and humorous, they deal with the richly rewarding human dimension of foreign travel by telling you about the beliefs and attitudes of the people you will meet and about situations you may encounter. They help you to understand what makes people tick, the values they live by, and the kind of behaviour that will be reciprocated with goodwill and hospitality.

Customs and Traditions Around The World

Countries such as Jordan or India can be challenging if you’re not aware of the cultural norms. India is steeped in tradition, the local people are friendly and will respond to you with warmth but the country is full of extremes. The Culture Smart guide to India helps make you aware of the basic values so that you can connect more with the local people and navigate cultural differences. Instead of feeling frustrated when something isn’t what you are used to, you’ll be able to understand the behaviour norms with these insights. 

Maybe you are travelling to Iran, and want to know what the real Iran is like in the twenty-first century as opposed to the stereotype. With the country offering a romanticism, it is still feeling the effect of the Islamic Revolution that took place in 1979. As a modern society with a traditional culture, it is experiencing great change.
