Prepare a Welcome Kit!
We all like to be pampered, and the reality is that in a country different than ours, an attitude like this can help your guest to feel part of the culture of the place they are visiting. We are talking about a Welcome Kit, a very personal concept that each host prepares depending of his preferences, in this case a kit like this usually consists of regional products, because giving preference to what is ours is always important! Leave some samples of what our culture offers, from liqueurs, teas, typical sweets, or other products that you think are relevant and that can generate good feedback from those who are staying.
