Quality system at the hotel

Abstract

Increasingly many companies, including those operating on the market of tourist services, strive to obtain the certified quality management system according to ISO 9000 standards. The research being carried out shows that service companies with quality certificates receive a number of external and internal benefits by this virtue. External benefits of a company testify to: using its certificate for marketing purposes, a possibility of bidding for a bigger number of tenders and an increase in a company’s prestige. Internal benefits usually include: ordering the organisational structure in a company and also ordering work procedures and methods, which is in favour of the general improvement of an organisation’s functioning (Sikora, Bałaga, 2006, p. 130). The aim of the article is to present the role which the quality management system plays in the functioning of a company active on the market of tourist services, using an example of the Hotel. Achieving the aim set in this way requires presenting the essence and the main features of the services, followed by attempting to define the quality of a hotel service, pinpointing the areas for hotel service improvement as well as presenting the operational principles of the quality management system on the example of the Hotel being analysed.
