Criteria of hotel services quality evaluation in the opinion of tourists on the objects in Świnoujście and Jurmala examples

Summary/Abstract: According to NACE classification, tourism covers such areas as: accommo- dation, services related to food, activities of travel agencies, tour operator and other res- ervation service and related activities, arts and entertainment, operation of libraries, ar- chives, museums and other cultural activities, as well as sports, entertainment and recre- ation. This means that tourism industry is very composed and differentiated, but a first place where a tourist goes after arrival is a place of accommodation, therefore in this article we analyze quality of accommodation offer in two selected cities located on the Baltic coast: Swinoujscie in Poland, and Jurmala in Latvia. In this article we aim to 1) build a list of shortcomings in shaping accommodation offer; 2) specify directions of nec- essary improvements, and 3) indicate differences between tourists` complains (expecta- tions) in selected cities. To realize such defined aims, we have analyzed all negative opin- ions (more than 1700) published on the booking.com site, referring to 70 accommodation objects in Jurmala and 58 in Świnoujście.
