The hotel industry has now become more competitive than ever before and meeting customer needs is a necessity. Providing quality service determines hotels’ success or failure, hence hotels do prioritize their efforts on improving quality service delivery with the aim of achieving product differentiation, survival, improved market share, and high returns in a competitive environment. TQM has had an immense impact on product and quality service delivery in the manufacturing and other service sectors and therefore hotels can consider adopting the same to make better their quality service delivery.
