rules traveler may not have noticed. For example, the general rule in most Western countries is to tip 10 percent of a restaurant bill, but you may refuse a tip if you are unhappy with the service you received. Beware, however, that doing so many cause offense. Also, some jobs may not be well paid, meaning that tips are an essential source of income. To confuse matters even further, tipping is not expected at all in some countries and offering them may even be impolite. Therefore, it is best to familiarize yourself with local customs before visiting a country.
No matter what cultural and social norms we follow at home, abiding by local laws, respecting local customs and religious practice should always be considered good manners and a necessity. Thus, everyone should have intercultural communication competence, which means that person has ability to communicate with or interact with other person with different cultural backgrounds. Cultural setting is a key element in intercultural communication, as Wood (19994) notes, “The largest system affecting communication is your culture, which is the context within which all your interactions take place” (Wood, 1994,p.29).
Needless to say, intercultural communication competence requires Chinese tourists to have fundamental cultural knowledge and social customs enabling them to meeting a set of expectations about how people should behave appropriately in a particular social situation. Therefore, intercultural communication skill training by some experts at the host institution may improve Chinese tourists’ cultural knowledge to facilitate their behavior to match the different requirements from different cultures and societies
