Abstract


Above Due to intense competition in the business sector, businesses that use marketing concepts prioritise consumer pleasure, which includes developments in the high-end lodging and hospitality industries. The demands and preferences of customers must serve as the foundation for the marketing strategy that is developed as a plan to accomplish these objectives. Ultimately, positive relationships will be established between businesses and customers. Quantitative research methodologies are used in this study. 90 respondents who are categorised as loyal customers—those who have visited the same property at least twice—were given questionnaires in order to assess the relationship between IMC implementation and customer loyalty using a new measuring scale.
