It also has the challenge of promoting excellence. The Internet is an easily accessible source of information and by using it, hotel establishments can easily find out their consumers’ requirements. This document aims to explore the main factors for luxury hotels that affect tourist satisfaction by studying users’ online reviews. This research investigates the importance of opting for a competitive strategy of excellence, which specializes in total customer satisfaction. To do this, this research analyzes the comments made on Internet by tourists at luxury hotels and uses the QSR (Qualitative Solutions and Research International) qualitative analysis software called NVivo to study the comments made when the tourists are highly satisfied. From this analysis, the items that these types of tourists value most highly are identified.
