This will result in more frequent clients allowing the hotel to remain in business. The number of important international companies acquiring quality certification is increasing, therefore, it is necessary to begin the implementation of QMS within the industry. The author refers to the necessary aspects and processes for companies within the hotel industry to implement a Quality Management System according to already established standards and norms.
