TQM And Its Impact Among Various Sectors Of The Cyprus Tourism Industry

Total Quality Management generally provides the fundamental core of the leadership and management process within an organisation so as to face the challenges posed by the new age environment. In recent years, many organisations in an attempt to survive and regain competitive advantage have embarked within the long journey of quality. As the needs and expectations of the customers in the tourism industry become more challenging, the Cyprus Tourism Industry in order to cope with these expectations have in the last few years focused on the quality. Methodologies like Total Quality Management systems and ISO 9000 quality systems standards can assure quality within the several sectors of the Cyprus Tourism Industry and help it in general to regain competitive advantage.
This dissertation examines the concepts of Quality and Total Quality Management and its impact on the four different sectors of the Cyprus Tourism Industry. The examination and analysis of the quality concept and total quality management framework in relation with the four sectors, provides the reader with an overview of how the Cyprus Tourism Industry copes with this field. During the conduct of the project it became apparent that the four sectors encapsulate the TQM framework in a most effective way bringing the Cyprus Tourism Industry to a new era of competitive improvement.
