Sažetak
In order to compete successfully in the hotel industry, managers should know what their customers expect and provide services that meet these expectations. The study aims to empirically investigate expectations of service quality in Croatian hotel industry. The main goals are to assess hotel guests’ expectations and to determine main factors that best explain customers’ expectations regarding hotel service quality. In order to measure customers’ expectations specific to the hotel environment, original SERVQUAL model was modified. The questionnaire was designed in accordance with researches conducted by Parasuraman et al. (1988), Zeithaml et al. (1990), Snoj and Ogorelc (1998), Pizam and Ellis (1999) and Marković (2003). Data were collected in 15 hotels in Opatija Riviera (Croatia) during the summer 2007. A total of 253 hotel guests returned completed and usable questionnaires. To meet study’s objectives, descriptive statistical analysis, exploratory factor analysis and reliability analysis were conducted. The findings revealed that guests have high expectations of service quality in Opatija Riviera hotels. Moreover, four factors were identified that best explained expected service quality and all of them are highly reliable. It was found that reliability, empathy, tangibles and accessibility are key dimensions of expected hotel service.
