Long-Term Visitors and Expats

If staying extended periods:

Integration vs. Imposition

- Learn from existing communities - Don't try to "improve" everything - Respect established systems - Contribute skills humbly - Avoid savior complexes

Business Practices

If starting businesses: - Partner with locals - Hire locally first - Pay fair wages - Respect labor laws - Give back to community

"Expats opening businesses that locals can't afford, hiring only other expats—that's neo-colonialism," critiques economist Dr. Fred Réno.
