With the growing popularity of the internet, customers can easily share their experiences and information in online reviews. Consumers recognize online reviews as a useful source of information prior to consumption, and many online reviews influence consumer purchasing decisions. Understanding the customer experience in online reviews is thus necessary to maintain customer satisfaction and repurchase intention for the sustainable development of the hotel business. This study assessed the fundamental selection attributes of customers from online reviews reflecting the hotel customer experience, and investigated their association with customer satisfaction. A total of 8229 reviews were collected from Google travel websites from December 2019 to July 2021. Text mining and semantic network analysis were adopted for big data analysis.

Service is a critical selection attribute for customers, and the provision of more particular services is necessary, especially after COVID-19. These results indicate that understanding online reviews can provide theoretical and practical implications for developing sustainable strategies for the hotel industry.

The Impact

The hotel industry has grown rapidly in recent years, becoming the most competitive environment. As a result, industry players strive to outsmart competitors by creating brand equity to enhance brand loyalty; however, the impact of brand equity and demographic characteristics on brand loyalty is sketchy. In this study, we assess this impact in United Arab Emirates’ hotel industry by using customer experience as the mediating role. We selected a total of 694 participants at three 3-star hotels and two 5-star hotels in the United Arab Emirates. The Mann–Whitney test showed no statistically significant differences in brand loyalty ( p < .05) by gender, and the Kruskal–Wallis test showed a moderately statistically significant difference ( p > .05) and a highly statistically significant difference ( p > .07) in brand loyalty by age and income groups, respectively. A positive correlation was found between customer experience and the different dimensions of brand equity. Similarly, a positive relationship ( R = .716) was found between customer experience and brand loyalty using linear regression analysis. These findings will benefit managing authorities and key decision makers who seek to increase the productivity and profitability of their hotels.

This study was conducted to understand customer experience and satisfaction through airline passengers’ online review. To achieve the purpose of this study, the semantic network analysis was conducted qualitatively by collecting reviews in top 10 airlines selected by Skytrax (airlinequality.com). In addition, this study quantitatively identified the relationship among six evaluation factors (seat comfort, staff, food and beverage (F&B), entertainment, ground service, and value for money), customer satisfaction and recommendation. This study collected 9632 reviews from the Skytrax. Through a CONCOR (CONvergence of iterated CORrelation) analysis, keywords were grouped into six clusters (seat comfort, staff, entertainment, ground service, value for money, and airline brand). Through the linear regression analysis, all evaluation factors except ‘entertainment’ factor significantly had impact on customer satisfaction and recommendation. These results showed that understanding online review can provide both academic implication and practical implication to develop sustainable strategy in the airline industry.

The Relationship

Internet has enabled today's consumer to transform himself from passive to an active and an informed consumer who can share his experiences, opinions about product or services with an infinite number of consumers around the globe. These reviews or opinions are further used by potential buyers of that particular product or service via electronic Word of Mouth (e-WOM). The study on the impact of e-WOM on online sales has gradually emerged but a number of questions still remain unanswered. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of one type of e-WOM i.e., the online consumer reviews, on purchasing decisions of electronic products. This empirical study also focuses on the relationship between reviews and purchasing behaviour. An instrument was prepared to measure the proposed constructs, with questionnaire items taken from prior studies but adapted to fit the context of e-commerce. The survey was applied to academicians in India through internet. The results show that consumer reviews have a causal impact on consumer purchasing behaviour and they have an effect on choosing the products by consumer. Finally, the results and their implications are discussed.
