  2. Firstly cultural understanding and sensitivity in responding to different types of customers.
Secondly ability to identify and respond to the cultural context other workplace.
Thirdly, ability to ap0ply knowledge of different cultures and cultural characteristics appropriately to communication with colleagues and customers.
  1. There might be different stereotyping which may offend customer. For instance, guessing all Australian love beaches, beer and barbecues. And they all say G’day. , all elderly people are conservative, all accountants are boring, all Japanese people prefer baths to showers. All Americans talk loudly, all British people drink tea, all Jewish don’t eat pork, all aboriginal people live in the bush. 
  2. Multiculturalism has the great impact on tourism and Hospitality industry as they come from different countries and they may speak different language, eat different food, has different aspect of  religion , different times to celebrate different holidays, ware dress differently.
  3. The full form of EEO is Equal Employment Opportunity. Which simply represent the there should not be any type of barriers between male, female and geographical within the country. Even the disable if they have the talent they should get the job they deserve.

  5.  As a International guest Chinese people may come to a restaurant and the waiter may think that they are rude. But the way to thank in china is different that the other countries. They unobtrusively are tapping the table with their fingers to thank people.  To overcome the situation as a hospitality industry employee they should have the basis about the other culture and know how they behave. This could be done by many different ways. Talking the different cultural people is one of them.  
  6. A hotel may conduct a session in training period. This could introduce to the employee how the other culture behaves. And they will get the inspiration on the job. Hotel may announce reward on the service of international guest.

On the other hand employee should have the knowledge of international food as they might need to serve to the guest. If they does not have any idea how the foods taste , they cant recommend  to the guest.
