Editing Rural hospitality in the developing world (section)

== Language Barrier ==

It can be expected that in many developing rural areas of the world the potential guest will not know the local dialect or language in the area of which they will be travelling. This is where the importance of the mediator comes in for the initial part of the process by being able to start the integration of the host into the rural setting. As a guest, you should be expected to research and if all possible learn some basics of the area in which you want to be hosted. Be prepared to learn some of the local language to enhance and enjoy your stay. It should never be implied or expected that the people from the rural area should need to speak the same language as you. You are the guest in their community.
