  6. Gap Analysis Model of Service Quality

  7. 7 lessons of service quality and quality management • Quality is what customers perceive. • Quality cannot be separated from the service process (the production and delivery process). • Quality is produced locally in a series of moments of truth of service encounters or buyer-seller interactions. • Everyone contributes to customer perceived quality. • As co-products in service processes customers have to be managed as a quality-producing resource. • Quality has to be monitored throughout the organization by the whole organization. • External marketing has to be integrated into quality management.

  8. Service and Relationship Quality • Quality ultimately is “whatever the customer perceives it to be.” • What counts is “quality as it is perceived by customers.” • Two Quality Dimensions: What and How • Quality and the Competitive Edge

  13. Informal Questionnaire • People were asked the following questions: • Would you like a private tour by a native English speaker? • What is the maximum number of participants? • How much would you be willing to spend? • What would you be interested in seeing?

  14. Growth of Cruise Ship Industry in Asia • 2008-2013 5 year growth and deployment trends: Asia’s capacity grew by 302%. Total share rose from 1.2% to 3.6%. • “Asia leads the world in international tourism growth, accelerating in exotic port offerings and itineraries.” • Kaohsiung Cruise Ship Terminal and Port Service Center to be completed in 2014. • Looked at 2013 Cruise Ship Data.

  16. Marketing Strategy • Website • Social Media • Online Advertising • Brochures
