Personal Space Etiquette in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

People in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines are generally comfortable with a bit less personal space than in more reserved cultures, so brief closeness in conversation, a handshake, or a friendly touch is usually normal rather than intrusive. In busy markets, minibuses, and social gatherings, people may stand or sit quite near each other, but it is still polite to avoid crowding someone who is clearly trying to keep distance.
