In the world drastically changed by COVID-19, the hospitality industry has to face challenges. Travel restrictions and general anxiety significantly modified consumer behavior in the hotel sector. In response, many companies started adapting their loyalty programs not only to reward their loyal guests but also to maintain relationships online and translate the growing feeling of solidarity into trust and brand engagement.Since COVID-19 has largely impacted everyday life and may continue to do so after the completion of this study, there is not enough research about its effects on customer loyalty to the hotels’ brands. This thesis examines the relationship between the pandemic and customer loyalty. Focusing on the perspective of the consumer the researcher analyses individual criteria that impact decision-making in relation to choosing a hotel brand to stay during the pandemic. A qualitative study conducted by means of interviews reveals what kind of beliefs about the hotel brand stimulate loyalty to the brand. The study also investigates to which extent hotels’ marketing activities, as well as safety and security measures, affect loyalty. Implications of this research are obvious for both academic as well as the hospitality industry. On one hand, the results of the study contribute to the body of knowledge about the effects of the pandemic on consumer loyalty and enhance understanding of the link between the two. On the other hand, recommendations for the industry professionals could be developed with regards to strengthening customer relationships, loyalty, brand engagement, and trust.
