Introduction:

Web 2.0 platforms have transformed how consumers and producers interact within

tourism and hospitality landscape. Social media platforms facilitate real time

electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) communication between producers and

consumers, as well as between consumers themselves. One such platform is

TripAdvisor. TripAdvisor is the largest travel related user-generated content website.

Customers are able to post their lived experiences on TripAdvisor, making the

website a trusted source of information. Thus, TripAdvisor play a key role in shaping

and influencing potential service consumption decisions and influence perception of

service value.

This has numerous implications on the management of core and supplementary

services. From the industry perspective, user-generated content provides a rich

source of customer feedback, revealing determinants of customer delight (or

disgust), enabling service industry operators to identify areas for service quality

improvement. Technology can be thus be used to build customer loyalty and

manage service recovery.

Aim:

The aim of this assessment is to deepen student understanding of the role

technology plays in influencing customer perceptions of quality in the highly complex

and interdisciplinary nature of service settings.

Task Description:

Based on any ONE of the service operations listed from the TripAdvisor website

(links below), conduct a comprehensive online research of customer feedback

focusing on “TERRIBLE” and “POOR” reviews. Analyse commentaries provided in

English language only.
