Building consumer loyalty is becoming increasingly tough, and the cornerstone of loyalty is generating exceptional experiences that keep people returning.

Every contact, from customized welcomes to chosen facilities, was designed to exceed guests' expectations. The hotel placed a strong focus on proactive communication. They formed a specialized guest relations staff to communicate with visitors before, during, and after their stay. This individualized contact made guests feel appreciated and cared for, and their opinion was considered. This paper will give an insight into the approach
