Resumo: Corporations in the hospitality industry have to succeed in creating experiences. This requires having a direct relationship with consumers and knowing their behaviour trends (i.e. through satisfaction questionnaires). This paper provides the results of a study of six Spanish hotel firms. Based on a face-to-face sample of interviews to 66 Spanish hotel managers and front-line reception employees, the findings suggest that employees’ corporation mission identification is highly correlated with customer identification outlined here through the percentage of satisfaction questionnaires filled.
