Address employees by their names
Remember that kind words cost you, the traveler, absolutely nothing, but the benefits can be so rewarding. Address your anyone by their names for easy conversation.
Offer compliments, verbally or otherwise
If writing a note slips your mind while on vacation, the appreciation for email or snail mail is just as strong.
Be curious about culture
A kind traveler is always respectful and curious about the cultural significance of the places and people they visit.
Make conservation efforts
Speak out kindly. Make efforts to start conversation with people around you. Speak out using kind words if not it is better to keep silent.
Remember the art of small talk
