Athens Business Pulse

  • Culture Sociable and relationship-heavy. Business often involves lively discussion.
  • Lunch Break 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip The best window for calls is 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM. Avoid calling between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM (the "siesta" or lunch period). Greeks value personal rapport and hospitality; business deals are often sealed over long meals or social gatherings. Be prepared for a warm and expressive communication style.

Vientiane Business Pulse

  • Culture Relaxed, polite, and relationship-driven. Business is personal and moves steadily.
  • Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
  • Pro Tip Reach out between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM. Laotian business culture is known for being polite and less fast-paced than neighboring hubs. Take time for personal greetings. Hierarchy and social harmony are important. Decisions are often made through consensus over several meetings.
