Before you plana up a meeting with customers of different cultures, it would be wise to study some aspects of theri culture.
For eg. in the middle east, you cant shake hands with a woman, and some gestures might not be acceptable in other cultures.

Depends on what country you are in. If you are in your own nation, your own cultural rules are in force, and its on the customer to understand them.
If you are abroad, it behooves you to minimally figure out what's taboo and what's expected.
In the hospitality industry, it's you who has to put up with the odd cultural habits of your guests, and you're expected to understand them, no less. Australia and Hawaii get lots of Japanese tourists, and boy, are they different.
