Cook Islands — Business

The main business center is Avarua on Rarotonga Island. Business in the Cook Islands is fairly casual, extending to dress (which should also be modest, particularly for women) and punctuality. Meetings will be conducted in English when foreigners are present, although islanders may speak to one another in Maori to clarify their understanding during proceedings, and is not meant as an offense. Meetings usually begin and end with a prayer. Business hours are generally 8.30am to 4.30pm Monday to Friday.
