Have you ever heard of Twitter Chats? These upbeat, friendly and funny hour long group conversations that take place via tweets between people all over the world, efficiently moderated by a small selection of interested parties in the travel industry.
​
Concierge99 recently took part in the #ttot (stands for ‘Travel Talk on Twitter’) chat on Tuesday (aka #TravelTuesday for you hashtaggers out there) and it was such a fun and interesting hour spent with colleagues in the travel community, other travel bloggers and generally people who just have a passion for travel.

​This week’s chat topic: 
The World’s Friendliest Countries, thereby introducing a topic that encourages camaraderie and cheer amongst an already friendly and chatty crowd!

First question bounced out at us at 9:30am on the dot via @bohemianceblog with: 

“What is it about a country that makes it 'friendly'?”


There were many varied answers from Twitter users all over the globe claiming that what makes a country ‘friendly’ ranges from its people, to their specific behaviour regarding giving directions or even sharing food, all the way to the structure of their public transport systems. 

@PostcardandTag put it eloquently by tweeting: 
“When people make you feel at home in another land. They are nice, helpful, warm, and welcoming.”

@cvoyagerm joined in with a very practical point from their current experience, which in our opinion is an underrated trait in people when you’re hungry and in an unknown land...: 
“They want to share food :) It’s their attitude, I recently moved to NZ and overwhelmed by how much people want to help”

Concierge99’s own @siamac stated quite sensibly: 
“If a country can find the balance between helpful and intrusive, they are on the right track to making friends!”

And to round out the remarks, @african_impact said:
“Helpful public transport! Nothing more terrifying for first-time travelers than feeling intimidated and afraid to ask for help.”
