Cultural Differences for a British Tourist Traveling to an Islamic Country

Difference in culture of British tourists visiting Muslim countries Dubai is becoming a popular destination for tourists. It is the second largest emirate country in United Arab Emirates. Dubai is the tourism capital of the United Arab Emirates. Dubai's economy is mainly based on trade, manufacturing and tourism, and only 20% of city income comes from oil sales. This is a very safe city with a low crime rate. The crime was severely punished. Drug smuggling and rape are sometimes sentenced to death.

More and more tourists are visiting these countries as Islamic countries become popular destinations or explore tourist destinations in other parts of the world. Because there are many religions and cultures mixed, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish what is an "acceptable" code of conduct. The Islamic notion of "Haya" is called "humble" in broad terms of English terminology. Haya refers not only to the concept of what you do, but also how you act. Given that women's reputation is very important in Muslim culture, it is particularly suitable for women. It has nothing to do with repression. It is related to maintaining a good "public image / name".

If there is a country to discover now, it must be Iran. The image of the media is relatively poor since the Islamic Revolution in 1979, but Iran is still a safe place for tourists with a huge cultural heritage. Since 2014 the tourism industry is prosperous and new visa regulations, particularly arrival visa policies that can be used on almost all passports, encourage the arrival of tourists. (See the list below.) The Iranian economy is still subject to international sanctions and it is still impossible to use your international credit card in that country. In order to pay expenses including hotels and tours, cash (US dollar preferred) must be exchanged for local currency (Iranman) at arrival. The situation will change due to current negotiations, negotiations with the international community, re-entry into the SWIFT system, and transfer of funds to overseas.

Visitors fall into three categories: international, regional and domestic. A visitor from overseas is a visitor to another country other than his country. Regional visitors are those who visit a specific geographical area within the Caribbean. Domestic tourists are tourists traveling in their own country such as Bimini, Abaco etc. Less than 50% of all Bahamas citizens are directly involved in sightseeing. As the number of people employed in the tourism industry increases, the proportion will increase to 70%. In 1993, tourists spent approximately 1.3 billion dollars domestically and offered work to over 45,000 people. The total labor force is 164,675 people, and the economy depends greatly on the tourism sector to provide employment opportunities.
