I find culture to be a complex concept. Recently I got excited when I found some resources that simplified this concept for me and thought you may find them useful too.
Many internationals visiting Central Australia have a completely different lifestyle to us. As a result, it is important to understand why people with different cultures act in different ways or if not, at least know how to respect our international guests according to their cultures.
I'd like to introduce you to this website https://www.hofstede-insights.com/country-comparison/. This is a free function, that allows you to compare cultures to gain a better understanding of various cultures. You may be surprised how much these search results help - I know I was!
To get a better understanding of who is visiting our amazing part of the world, take a look at this graph produced by Tourism Australia - http://www.tourism.australia.com/content/dam/assets/document/1/7/1/k/b/2008235.pdf
Another link you may find interesting is http://www.tourismnt.com.au/en/industry-toolkit/factsheets. Following this link will lead you to a factsheet about becoming China Ready.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I look forward to being in touch soon.
