A spa-centered hotel chain, International Waters, Inc. (IW), has been in business for 2 years now. Their mission is to provide a stress-free stay for guests where relaxation is a priority. They primarily are located on the West Coast of the U.S. and the east and west coasts of Mexico, and all their properties contain water features and spas. IW especially caters to the business customer who needs time away to relax and recuperate. The problem that has surfaced from their analysis of the CSR database and various customer surveys is that they cannot seem to establish a long-term connection to their customers, so few return.
