Chinese Cultural Awareness Workshop

Word of mouth is the most valuable form of advertising, so for your Chinese visitors to go back to China and rave to their friends and relatives about their amazing South Australian experience, it is crucial that you meet the needs of your Chinese guests and understanding important cultural differences.

Exclusively designed for the South Australian tourism industry, this half-day workshop will help you understand:

• Differences between China and Australia : food, traffic, housing, personal space
• Pronunciation of Chinese names : method to pronounce names such as ‘Xiao’ and ‘Zhu’; business card etiquette
• Chinese communication styles : indirect, non-verbal and group oriented communication
• Chinese hierarchy : hierarchy in the family and in the workplace
• ‘Face’ : losing ‘face’, gaining ‘face’, giving ‘face’ and ‘face’ in relation to promoting your product/service to a Chinese customer
• ‘Guanxi’ (networking/relationships) : how to build and maintain ‘guanxi’ and acknowledging significant festivals in the Greater China region
• Meetings : presenting to a Chinese audience and working with an interpreter
• Hosting a Chinese delegation : seating positions, social etiquette and appropriate gifts
