Prepare a well-planned itineraryKnow what your company hopes to accomplish through
this trip and make sure you have planned to do so.
Plan all appointments ahead of time and make sure you
have enough time in between in case you need to travel
to a different location or if a meeting runs late.
Research the country you're traveling to
Learn about the culture, the protocol and etiquette practices.
Study up on the history, know what their cultural feelings
towards being tardy, gift-giving are, and the proper use of
names and titles. Having this knowledge can help you avoid
uncomfortable situations and will certainly impress your hosts.
Learn the native languageYou don't need to be fluent in the language but even if you just
learn a few words your business associates will definitely
appreciate any sincere attempt. If you don't speak the same
language as your business associates hire a translator.

Before your trip be sure to check the governmental travel
advisories. These warning are constantly updated based on
current trends including terrorism, natural disasters, political
unrest, wars, health emergencies,and outbreaks of violent
