Inviting

What kinds of social activities in your city could be appropriate ways of entertaining visitors from other countries?

Typical ideas are arts and cultural events such as theatre, cinema, concerts, exhibitions, famous monuments and buildings, or sports event, golf, tourist trips, excursions, restaurants and bars.

More private corporate hospitality such as parties, receptions, and possibly invitations to someone's home ( highly culture dependent ).
