This paper presents a model examining the impact of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on hotel customer loyalty, with trust, customer identification with the company, and satisfaction as mediating factors. It explores the direct and indirect effects among these constructs and proposes hypotheses related to consumer trust, customer identification, and satisfaction. The study also analyzes the influence of CSR associations on customer identification, trust, and satisfaction. Results indicate high validity and reliability, though the study acknowledges limitations such as the sample being limited to Spain and other potential antecedents of customer loyalty like perceived quality and value.
