Abstract

Perceived service quality effectively influences consumers' purchases and repeated purchases. How to improve the service quality and enhance the customer perceived value is not only a practical operational problem to be solved urgently by star-rated hotels, but also a hot topic that is closely concerned in the academic field. This paper used the structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis method to explore the impact mechanism of perceived service quality on online booking decisions of star-rated hotel customers, and proposed promotion strategies for online booking of star-rated hotels. The empirical analysis revealed that among all the factors that constitute the perceived service quality, safety (0.81) is the most important influencing factor, followed by remediation (0.79), empathy (0.78), and tangibility (0.53). Other factors in the categories of hotel characteristics, platform recommendation, and customer reviews influence online booking decision as well.
