Twenty-five years or so ago, when I first started travelling on business, there were very few other women on those early morning air commutes. Today women represent nearly 50% of business travellers, and hotels around the world are trying to determine what will keep women happy. It’s an important question because women are nearly twice as loyal to a hotel as men. Said one senior executive who logs 70 – 80 room nights a year, “When I find a hotel that make me feel welcome and safe, I’ll return again and again – even if they are a little more expensive and a little further from my meeting place.”

So what do women want?

Apologizing in advance for only being able to answer this question in terms of hotel stays, here are their/our top desires… assuming that all the business necessities (fax, internet connectivity in the room and/or WiFi, meeting rooms, access to printing, business newspapers delivered to the room, etc.) have already been met.

No matter what your reason is for visiting the Czech Republic, it is a nice way of showing your respect by acquiring knowledge regarding the Czech customs. You want to make sure that you are polite and well mannered by learning how to properly behave while at the home of another person or even when visiting an attraction.

There are terms that you should know about so that you can show your respect to the elders or to those that are of higher statuses. In order for you to learn how to speak Czech properly, you will need guidance here. You can ask a friend who is fluent in speaking Czech or you can undergo an online Czech training. The good thing about the latter is that there are actually free courses while there are also some that are very affordable. This is very helpful especially for those who are planning to meet up with a potential business client in the Czech Republic.

Now, let us go back to asking a question in Czech. As an example, we can take on one of the most confusing types of questioning: the negative inquiries. For instance, if you want to ask if someone has something to eat, you will find yourself debating whether or not you should use “Nemas neco k jidlu?” (You don’t have something to eat?) or “Nemas nic k jidlu?” (You have nothing to eat?)” When questioning in a negative way, the choice would depend on the answer that you would like to acquire. If you would like to get a yes from the person you are talking to, it is more appropriate to select the first one. If it is a no, the second one is more suitable. Read the rest of this entry »
