Abstract

The outsourcing of hotel marketing is one of the strategic decisions that can help hotels manage the distribution channels more efficiently. This work analyzes the factors determining the outsourcing of hotel sales and marketing activities. It uses the transaction costs framework, complemented by the analysis of performance costs and quality. In this context, the possible impact of outsourcing the marketing department on the relational and financial performance is analyzed. The results of the study clearly show a close relationship between those variables and current outsourcing. In addition, the increase in outsourcing is determined by low relational quality. These results lead to the conclusion that it is necessary to create new systems and procedures in sales and marketing activities to offer new competitive solutions by means of outsourcing.
