Impact of Luxury Hotel Customer Experience on Brand Love and Customer Citizenship Behavior

The luxury hotel market has been developing rapidly recently in the Asian Market. To provide useful outcomes to hotels competing in fierce market conditions, the current study investigated the relationship between customer experience values, customer post-experience consequences, and citizenship behaviors. Our findings confirmed the valuable contribution of customer experience values (ROI and service excellence) to the development of brand satisfaction, which in turn positively influences brand commitment and love. Meanwhile, brand commitment and love were found to have a direct positive impact on customer citizenship behaviors (CCBs). Overall, the findings bridge the gap in the relationship between brand love and CCBs in the hospitality industry and provide broad insights into brand management and marketing theories for tourism and hospitality.
