✦ Synopsis
This paper (the second in a series of four) presents the ®ndings of a study of the views of UK hotel customers when identifying the perceived importance of hotel selection and quality assessment attributes. A brief review of the methodology is presented together with an analysis of customer preferences and characteristics. As the ®rst article in the series concentrated upon the important attributes, this paper focuses on the interjacent and relatively unimportant attributes. A discussion of the ®ndings reveals that customers view leisure, entertainment and children-related services as relatively unimportant. The results con®rm the importance of competence and the characteristics and performance of the service provider.
