Abstract

From the moment consumers purchase hotel services, they desire and expect excellence. Throughout the past twenty years, hotels have sought to improve and maintain their service quality, adopting quality control techniques whose basic goal is to ensure that services meet specific requirements, and are dependable and satisfactory. Otherwise service failures and service recoveries are likely to occur which can be very costly to hotels as found in the literature. However it remains unknown if managers and tourists view service failures and service recoveries differently. Consequently this paper investigates possible differences between tourists and managers with regard to service failure and service recovery in Greece.
