Abstract

Retaining customer is one of the crucial tasks for any companies to sustain in the competitive business environment, particularly in the hotel and report industry. The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationships among customer satisfaction, service quality, switching costs, and trust on customer retention in the hotel and resort industry. This study has adopted a single-informant approach and administered 300 questionnaires to customers who had stayed in Malaysian five-star hotels or resorts in Malaysia. This study followed a deductive research approach and employed a questionnaire survey method. The selection of samples was based on a convenient sampling technique. Understanding the determinants of customer retention through this study will enable the companies to formulate relevant business strategies to lock the existing customer groups.
