This Virtual Issue on Customer Loyalty showcases twenty influential and highly cited articles previously published in International Journal of Contemporary Hospitality Management (IJCHM). The first ten articles are free to access from 4 August to 30 September 2020. The articles chosen for this second 2020 Virtual Special Issue will, we hope, inspire researchers working in this field, instructors teaching courses related to customer loyalty, as well as industry practitioners.
If you enjoy reading the articles within this virtual issue, we would greatly encourage you to share it with other scholars, colleagues, students and industry partners. This year, due to these unprecedented times, we are publishing 3 virtual issues in 2020, and then will move to quarterly virtual issues in 2021. We welcome your thoughts and recommendations, and also any suggestions of new articles published in IJCHM to add to this list on Customer Loyalty.
