Abstract

This article explores on how to win satisfaction and loyalty of customers travelling beyond national borders to avail services. The study investigates the effect of customer relationship management (CRM) practices on satisfaction and loyalty of international patients travelling to Indian hospitals. Given the challenges faced by the corporate hospitals in context to international patients, this article identified and discussed the relationship between CRM, customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. The study is based on a cross-sectional analytic study design, wherein primary data was collected through a structured questionnaire on a 5-point Likert scale from 419 respondents and processed through descriptive statistics and structural equation modelling using SPSS AMOS 20*. ‘Trust’ as a driver of CRM was found to be the most important predictor of satisfaction and loyalty, thus strategies around this element shall guide the corporate hospitals in establishing India as a medical tourism hub and having a competitive edge.
