Factors affecting customer evaluation of service quality in travel agencies: an investigation of customer perceptions
Article Abstract:
Two full-service, mid-sized travel agencies were studied to identify the dimensions travelers use in evaluating agency service quality. Using regression analysis, questionnaires based on 10 dimensions established by Parasuraman, Zeithaml and Berry in 1984 yielded six variables according to which service quality was determined. This suggests that the concept of service quality has many dimensions, of which corporate image (beta=.65) is the most significant, together with qualities relating to service delivery and agent performance.
