The magic town of Todos Santos is a strategic site for local development and is dependent on the tourist economy driven by national and foreign visitors. Restaurants in Todos Santos obtain raw materials locally to provide quality products for different food specialties. The quality of service (SQ) and customer satisfaction (CS) are two constructs that when evaluated are critical for any market. In this study, the perception and relationship between SQ and SC in the different restaurant specialties is evaluated, contrasting the perception between national and foreign tourists segments. Using 162 surveys, the constructs were evaluated using five dimensions: installations, accessibility, human capital, atmosphere, and food, where hypothetically food and human capital should be the main determinant. The results suggest that SQ and CS are perceived similarly between both segments, except in the Italian specialty in all its dimensions, and partially in Japanese. The food dimension was the highest value on average however, it was not significantly different from the rest of the dimensions. The SQ had a moderate positive impact on CS given the perception of diners by segment based on correlation analysis, the causal effect of which must be determined with detail.

An investment model approach has been applied to examine customer loyalty. The model consists of three variables—satisfaction, quality of alternatives, and investment size. Customer satisfaction is described as a postconsumption evaluation on the quality of service applying the cumulative approach. Furthermore, the quality of service is measured by five dimensions-tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. All five dimensions constitute the service firm’s readiness to provide each customer with a personal treatment. This study investigates whether all those variables have a significant effect to customer loyalty, which are measured in three dimensions–attitudinal, behavioral, and cognitive. The respondents comprised of 403 customers taken from the top ten Indonesian Banks that are listed with the highest assets. The data is gathered by distributing a questionnaire and analyzed by using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The findings of this study indicate that satisfaction and investment size have a positive impact on customer loyalty while, the quality of alternatives shows negative impact. The strongest impact occurs in the investment size variable, followed by the satisfaction and the quality of alternatives having less impact. This study is expected to help bank managers in reducing customer dissatisfaction and achieving customer loyalty in the Indonesian banking industry.

Human capital plays a critical role in the growth and excellence in institutions, but its contribution remains dependent on several factors. Its role is not limited on quantitative and qualitative accumulating, because it should be coherent and integrated in the development process. The theories of endogenous growth contributed to account for the disparity in levels of development between countries, by assuming that the extent of human capital response or inversely lack of responsiveness the economic system.
