Czech Europe Traveloffers assuring of complete services for traveling managers and creating of official journeys made-to-measure, this means preparing a exact itinerary and track anywhere within the frame of Czech Republic. We offer help while preparing the complete journeys, including the choice of partners, preparing the        dates and also the themes of discussion. Self-evident is a preparation of a business meeting, including the transport and service, accommodation and boarding.

While official journeys within Czech Republic we are also ready to prepare a program for you, which is not in a direct connection with the business meeting, but it helps you to meet the Czech mentality and traditions and matter of interests and beauties of the Czech Republic.

Within the frame of business travel we offer also a complementally program for dependents, which can complete your trade activities.

A part of these journeys can also be the securing of gastronomical and degustation proceedings and special attendant programs, or social activities as banquets, receptions or corporate evenings.

If you are traveling to the Czech Republic on business, please remember that, as in much of Europe, etiquette is important to the Czechs. A good firm handshake is the typical greeting. (For close friends and family, this is replaced by a kiss on the cheek.) The woman, or the elder or more distinguished man, should initiate the handshake. Always wait for an invitation to call someone by their first name; this is a privilege, and a sign of friendship, and using a first name without its being offered is considered to be an insult or an attempt to humiliate the person. Again, the woman or the more distinguished member of the party makes this offer first.

When in a conversation, maintain eye contact, keep your voice down to a reasonable volume, and avoid interrupting, as this is considered rude. Always be on time, whether to a meeting or for dinner--the American practice of being "fashionably tardy" does not go over well here. Meetings often start with the host's offering some sort of drink, usually coffee, tea, or soda. When eating out, the man always pays. Keep in mind that lunch is the main meal of the day; supper is usually fairly light.

When you are invited to someone's home, it is appropriate to bring a small gift (flowers or candy, for example). Most Czechs remove their shoes upon entering a home, and it is customary to request the host's permission before smoking. If your host has a car with a professional driver available, you will probably be offered the back seat--the place of honor--and your host will sit up front.

Finally, remember that many Czech businesspeople do not speak English. Learning a few words of Czech demonstrates respect and friendship, and your hosts will greatly appreciate your effort.
