“…In contrast, brand love transcends the expectancy‐disconfirmation principle and mental‐accounting behavior. It is a construct with cognitive, emotional and socio‐cultural elements that organizes into a mental prototype of love, bringing out stronger switching resistance loyalty toward the brand (Malär et al ., ; Tsai, ; Batra et al ., ; Correia Loureiro et al ., ; Reimann et al ., ).H The impact generated by brand love on switching resistance loyalty toward the hotel brand is greater than the impact generated by overall customer satisfaction…”

“…In this sense, calculative commitment relates to the feeling of having to stay with the company, either due to less attractive alternatives or no alternatives (Bansal et al, 2004).
