Oh my, what a *stunning* display of... ignorance? stereotypical thinking? extreme clickbaiting? I'm not even sure... https://lnkd.in/djM7KC2h For the record: I don't know of a single research that indicates a certain culture is inherently more "rude", "unfriendly" or "hospitable. So much fiction gets confused with facts, and so many variables are at play - city folk vs. the countryside, north vs. south in each specific country, the way stereotypes get shaped, etc. So apologies to my Danish, Belgian and Chinese colleagues, friends and customers. This is exactly how stereotypes get shaped about... professionals in the field of #culturaldifferences :-(

🤔 How ''cultural'' is your city?    👉 Using parameters such as the variety of the cultural landscape, impact on a worldwide scale, and the chances provided for artists, staff at Insider Monkey developed a new list of the most cultural cities in the world. Do you agree with the results?    💡 In 2018, cultural and creative sectors accounted for an average of 7% of all enterprises across #OECD countries.    Explore our latest work on the cultural and creative sectors 👇   🔗 https://oe.cd/il/5qG 

Do you enjoy visiting “exotic” countries but would never live there? Have you ever unintentionally angered a customer or failed to get a result due to the wrong phrasing? One cause is the fact that cultures and countries vary in the rules of communication. I present some examples and would enjoy hearing about your out-of-your world experiences. https://lnkd.in/dNS--89E

Industry Players who brag, bluster or argue - in an effort to make themselves seem important The “item” used to illustrate this post on “the noise-makers and the makers”, is a 55gallon steel barrel / drum (made in China) – which is priced at US $19.00 each – with 240 “pieces” being the minimum order ( https://lnkd.in/dvxPvjtF ). As in all industries and sectors, so too, in Health Tourism (without “naming names” or “naming and shaming”), we have those who “make the noise” and those who “make – without making noise”. Those making the most noise are known as “empty barrels” – because typically, they lack knowledge, wisdom or substance. The “noise” refers to all the talking they do. They don't have much to offer intellectually – and are the ones who talk the most and the loudest (without saying anything meaningful). They tend to brag, bluster or argue – in an effort to make themselves seem important (and make up for their lack of substance). And of course, they have the most followers and get the most likes. On the other hand, we have the Builder Class (a.k.a. the “Growth Makers” and Developers) – who “make” without making any noise. #EmptyBarrels #BuilderClass #GrowthMakers #Developers #Development #Followers #Likes #HealthTourism #ht8 #ContemporaryHealthTourism #InternetCenturyHealthTourism #Constantinides #EMVIO #Health #LinkedIn #LinkedInArticles #LinkedInPosts #Tourism #Travel #Hospitality #ExCtu #ContemporaryMedicalTourism #ConventionalMedicalTourism #MedicalTourism #MedicalTourismLite #DentalTourism #SpaTourism #WellnessTourism #SportsTourism #CulinaryTourism #AccessibleTourism #AssistedResidentialTourism #Wellness #MedicalTravel #TreatmentAbroad #OutboundMedicalTourism #CriticalEye #CriticalThinking
