needs and requirements. These hotels also considered implementing quality as an extra
cost which impedes them o pursuing practicing Total Quality Management. The study

concluded that TQM practices are strongly implemented in chain a filiated hotels. It also
provides empirical evidence that the level o TQM implementation di fered among the
hotels. Thus, it recognized several limitations that include: The data collated about the level
o TQM practices were gathered based on the perceptions alone o the di ferent
managers, although stated in the clustered analysis that it is not signi icant, and the
respondent managers are irst-level managers, that is possible that they might not have
evaluated correctly the present level o TQM practices in their respective hotels.
However, accentuated in the concluding statements that there are small number o studies
investing the application o TQM in the hotel industry, while literatures support that Total
Quality Management can be implemented in the industry.
