Is It Necessary to Bring Gifts?

Small gifts aren't required but appreciated in some contexts. Keep them compact and elegant.

For business or repeat visits, bring tasteful items—fine chocolates or regional specialties from your home city. Present with both hands. Hotels can store gifts until the right moment.

Avoid bulky items that complicate luggage.
