travel etiquette
Trip behavior norms
Travel etiquette refers to the accepted behaviors and social customs travelers should observe to be respectful of others and local cultures.
This includes practices like yielding armrests on planes, tipping appropriately in different countries, respecting quiet hours in hotels, and dressing modestly when visiting religious sites.
Good travel etiquette smooths interactions with locals and fellow travelers alike, while poor etiquette can cause offense or create uncomfortable situations.
