Today, businesses are seeking to prove their existence by providing the best services they can, so that these services outweigh the customers’ expectations and requirements. Providing the best is the key to these organizations to achieve progress and excellence over their competitors. An environment that is rapidly changing and the usual way or way of doing business is not suitable for this environment. Hence, business organizations are obliged to search for all that can achieve their strategies in different ways and methods, which helps them achieve the highest levels of performance and excellence to reach the highest salaries of customer satisfaction. The customer has become a focus of attention and focus of many organizations that try to attract him possible ways and mean (Jorge et al,2012).
This study aims to achieve the following objectives: Know the role of employees in the return of the customer to buy the tourism product through the skills and the overall appearance and provide the best service to satisfy the wishes of customers. And to know the role of tourism institutions to pay attention to staff in increasing quality and production.
The theme of TQM is one of the topics that is of great interest in the world of business organizations of all types and sizes, specifically in the tourism and hotel sector because TQM philosophy focuses on the customer and how to meet his growing needs and desires. And the sharing of all levels of management, in order to master the work from start to finish with minimal errors and possible costs. TQM also focuses on continuous improvement in all aspects of the organization, Organization as a basis for excellence.
The hotel sector is one of the most dynamic and vibrant service sectors, and is considered one of the most important destinations for the people of the region. The sector has recently grown rapidly due to the conditions in the region and the sector always strives to preserve the reputation that has permeated the mind.

This study comes to examine the reality and level of awareness of employees in hotels 4 and 5 stars for the importance of applying the principles of TQM.Workenvironment has a positive influence on customer retention in guesthouses.(Kalulu et al, 2015).
The tourism establishments rely on reputation to provide products and services to reach the satisfaction of tourists. It is the source of real profitability and guaranteeing the continuation of their operations, and the lack of interest in the customer leads to the exit of the tourist market from the marketing point of view, not only in its productive buildings. The most valuable assets of the organization are in their markets, they are the customers you deal with. The deterioration of fixed assets from an accounting point of view is a problem that can be solved by bringing in other assets. However, it is difficult for an enterprise to manage its operations when the customer abandons them. Customer satisfaction is therefore the focus of the entity’s operations. Retention is based on conciliation (or harmonization) between the type of value the customer is looking for and the mix offered by the organization ( Chatura,2003). The value mix is determined by what customers want. It is a final outcome component for the following variables: (price, quality, and the amount of innovation in the product that it draws closer to satisfy customers from their available alternatives in the market; these variables are not financial but rather how they are, which is among the most important measures of organizational strategies. The client may be loyal to the organization because of the deregulation or the loss of the real alternative. He may also be loyal because he is satisfied with the products and services of the organization and wants to continue the relationship with them. Enterprises tend to take into account customer satisfaction as a vital strategy.
