As one of the most important aspects of hotel management and customer relationship management, the quality of all touristic services influenced by the intensifying competition, determine suppliers to take into account more the needs and requirements of customers in order to have a successful strategy. In the digital world where consumers are well-informed, the choice to purchase best quality services is the ultimate choice given the opportunity to compare other services with other companies. Both managing decision makers and employees must find a way to provide customers with a balanced quality and price services or products, in line with expected standards.

It is thus considered as a significant core concept and a critical success factor in the hospitality industry. A successful hotel delivers excellent quality service to customers, and service quality is considered the life of hotel.
