The findings of the paper indicate that the role of Tourism Marketing, the application of CRM in business, the application of CRM in tourism is analyzed, with emphasis on luxury hotels. The outcome is that the digitalization of CRM can provide the management of the hotel with information such as hotel marketing philosophy, customer relationships, access to communications and information technologies, how their website is used, what hotel performance and what strategy they follow are assessed.
