 What causes the difference among team members?
Many people have different preferences so the difference in the choice
of places for traveling depends on what impression the country gives
tourists.
From my point of view each country has many ways to attract tourists but
customers' preferences and tastes need to be met when they go anywhere
except their home country. Each country has its own culture and cuisine that
can make customers choose country again for their next travel.
 What are the implications of high exposure versus low exposure to
people in other countries for a career in management?
In terms of career in management, they must have to research and record all
the preference of customer so high exposure to people play a crucial role in
penetration in taste of customer. It also helps them to make the right
decisions about the changes to fit the majority of each person's needs
 What can you do to increase your international exposure?,
Through the advancement of the internet and social media, enabling me to
become more easily reachable international exposure without going abroad.
In the future, I have a plan to go foreign for enhancing my study. Living and
studying in a different environment, which brings me closer to other
culture,thoughts, tradition, beliefs and religions
