A perspective from tourists and hotel managers
----------------

Abstract

Assesses the perceptions of service 
quality in China's hotel industry,

from the perspective of both 
international tourists and hotel

managers. A questionnaire was 
used to survey a sample of 90 hotel

managers and 270 international 
tourists who visited China and

stayed at hotels in Beijing, 
Shanghai, and Guangzhou. A

descriptive statistics analysis was 
used (paired t-test and independent

t-test) to evaluate the service 
quality of China's hotel industry

from both the tourists' and the 
managers' perspectives, and to

investigate the four gaps: between 
tourists' expectations and their

actual perceptions; between 
managers' perceptions of tourists'

expectations and the actual 
expectations of tourists; between

managers' perceptions of a hotel's 
service delivery and tourists' actual

perceptions of the service; and 
between managers' perceptions of

tourists' expectations and 
managers' perceptions of their

hotel's service delivery. The results 
showed that tourists' perceptions of

service quality provided in the hotel 
industry in China were consistently

lower than their expectations and 
that managers overestimated the

service delivery, compared to 
tourists' perceptions of actual

service quality, in the hotel industry 
in China. From the result of gap

analysis, it might be concluded that 
Delivery Gap and Internal Evaluation

Gap were the main reasons 
contributing to the service quality

shortfalls in the hotel industry in 
China.
