Satisfied guests come back and do word-of-mouth advertising. This leads to a higher average infrastructure utilisation and at the same time leads to reduced advertising costs. Wehrli et al. (2011) stated that Lucerne gets over a million overnight tourists every year not counting the number of tourists who just stop by the city during the day.
