Welcome to the Hilton Family of Hotels
be hospitable® Traveler Experts Page

In developing the curriculum for the be hospitable® Traveler program, The Hilton Family of Hotels pulled together its hotel team members and a select group of outside experts with backgrounds in travel, cultural awareness and character development. Each of our experts provided their unique perspectives on hospitality and gave personal insights into the dos and don'ts of international travel to promote cultural understanding and hospitable behavior among both Team USA and business and leisure travelers.

Rebecca S. Wyatt on Awareness:

Exchanging business cards in China is a very formal process. Always hand and receive business cards with two hands. When receiving a card, read the information to acknowledge the introduction. Putting the card in your wallet or pocket without this acknowledgement is viewed as an insult.
