Another important step in preparing for a business trip to another continent would be to study up on things such as language and customs or traditions. It would be important to have a translator to be able to understand the more in depth conversations, but knowing basic phrases such as "Hi", "How are you", "Thank you" and "Goodbye" would be important in showing respect to whom you'e with. Base off what you think you should learn off this. If someone came to you from another country, what phrases would you like them to know? As for traditions or customs, it would be important in the sense that they might not do things the same same way as here.
As it shows in the video, the way to greet people in China are much different than here. If you do something incorrectly you might offend someone and could possibly wreck the business relationship before it even begins. This step will be very important in the preparing for your business trip to another continent because of the fact on how much different things can be in a different country or continent. It is important to know how you will need to do business without offending anyone or looking unprofessional in the process.
