For those who are vegetarian or for those who do not drink alcohol, there is also a question as to how this will affect business interactions abroad. It is only natural that a host will want to invite you to experience the traditional foods and drinks of a particular region. Argentine beef, Mexican tequilas, Peruvian anticuchos, Caribbean rum, they are all tied into the identity of the local culture. An invitation to participate is an invitation to participate in the local culture. All of the executive comments reassure the listener that it will be OK to simply say no, but also advise that Latin Americans will be a little insistent. They suggest that what is important is the invitation to be together and it is important to accept something. |
