Why is it important?

In the existing era that is also known as β€œThe Age of Responsibility,” communities expect organizations to provide a complete account of their activities and their impacts on the environment. It is expected that corporations respect the goals inherent in the society and strive for this end. Thus, corporate social responsibility (CSR) is widely accepted as an entirely vital issue for organizations to achieve competitive advantage and sustainable development.

Perspectives

The results indicate that CSR in hotels improves the relationship quality with customers, and relationship quality has a positive effect on CCB. Moreover, the moderating role of hotel reputation in the relationship between relationship quality and CCB was verified. This study provides tourism practitioners and hotel managers with new insights and key points about establishing a better relationship with customers from CSR perspective and its relationship with CCB.
