Other respondents believed that tourists had a duty to learn languages, and to stop assuming everyone speaks English. Some saw themselves as cultural ambassadors and tried to ensure that any exchanges promoted mutual respect and equality.

Observe local custom and dress appropriately

Of the 24 respondents who took part in this study, six of them were very specific about the importance of observing local customs and wearing appropriate dress (in a Muslim country, for example). This relatively small number may be because only a few respondents travelled outside of the UK on the holiday being discussed. For those who did travel overseas for the holiday under discussion, however, the key imperative was to demonstrate respect for cultural norms, to be sensitive and also considerate:

Generally, if you are a guest in someone's country and they have a different culture to your own then you should respect that culture and behave according to their rules. And I would expect the same from people coming here [to the UK].
