WHAT FOR?
In a world where the “buzz” is powerful (in the hotel industry, they talk of nothing but the recommendation market), this satisfaction is decisive because it can generate ambassadors (while dissatisfaction risks creating detractors). It is therefore essential that you make sure that the experiences your brand offers to its customers really brings them satisfaction.
Satisfaction is a necessary condition for loyalty (not always sufficient, since satisfaction may mean leaving the brand, for example to look for lower prices).
You have to create positive virtuous circles (satisfied and loyal customers who recommend the brand and make it easy to attract new customers) as compared to a vicious circle (dissatisfied customers who generate a negative buzz, which makes attracting new customers difficult and costly).
