Introduction:
Web 2.0 platforms have transformed how consumers and producers interact within tourism and hospitality landscape. Social media platforms facilitate real time electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) communication between producers and consumers, as well as between consumers themselves. One such platform is TripAdvisor. TripAdvisor is the largest travel related user-generated content website. Customers are able to post their lived experiences on TripAdvisor, making the website a trusted source of information.

Technology can be thus be used to build customer loyalty and manage service recovery.
