General Protocol Information

The Importance of Protocol

Protocol is the art of ensuring that official occasions are planned and conducted in accordance with correct procedures that are formally, socially and culturally accepted and expected by all parties involved.

Protocol was established to encompass certain formalities and courteous modes of behaviour.  These behaviours are still widely accepted as necessary and useful in today's modern society, particularly when dealing with dignitaries and VIP's.
