Examining the impact of corporate social responsibility on customer delight, customer revisit intention and sustainable destination building: An empirical study of the hospitality industry

Abstract This research empirically investigates the impact of corporate social responsibility on customer delight and revisit intention of customers in the hospitality and tourism industry. Moreover, it investigates the impact of corporate social responsibility on the sustainable destination building. In order to achieve the set targets, data were sought through questionnaires from 282 guests visiting luxury hotels rendering services in Jammu and Kashmir and Delhi, India. To examine the link between the hypotheses, various normality tests, exploratory/confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were employed. The results show a strong correlation between all of the integrated model's elements and offer insightful managerial advice and implications for the hospitality sector.
