Physical Touch Etiquette in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

Physical touch is usually warm and informal, with handshakes, a light touch on the arm, or a brief hug among friends and family being normal, while overly familiar touching with strangers can feel intrusive. In everyday social settings people tend to be friendly and relaxed, but it is still best to let the other person set the level of closeness, especially in more formal or first-time encounters.
