Numerous management systems can assist the hotel industry in creating sustainable performance, such as Total Quality Management (TQM) which is well-reputed in the industry. As such, selecting TQM under an evolving hotel industry environment is seen as an important decision from a strategic perspective given it constitutes contradictory practices, thereby making it a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) issue. In achieving this aim, a Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) approach was adopted in determining the inter-relationships between the primary practices and sub-practices in addition to applying the Analytic Network Process (ANP) for examining the weights of primary practices and sub-practices. In other words, this study aims to provide innovative insight to researchers and practitioners to examine the TQM optimal practices to be implemented incrementally in phases within the hotel industry environment. http://www.ijsom.com/article_2908_73b817090081cef1bca77232f4532c5d.pdf
