Abstract

The privilege of being part of a select community determines the business and leisure tourists to become loyal to a certain brand. Their attachment towards the certain brand is followed up by the customer relationship management department. The article in question proposes a research within a five star hotel in Romania that had implemented a loyalty programme for their customer-base. The aim is to assess the correlation between the loyalty programme and the hotel’s revenues. It is observed that the staff recognised me by my name, an attribute of self-esteem, is in the top of client’s preferences that are a part of the loyalty programme of the analysed hotel, closely followed up by upgrades when available. Furthermore, the total of nights spent by the loyalty programme members is 30% out of the total nights spent in an entire year, and the revenue generated by them represents 30-35% of the total revenues of the hotel in question.
