Introduction Marketing executives aknowledg that not only does selling products and services create value for customers, but also customer experience is an important factor in creating value. Due to the numerous challenges and interactions at the contact points, creating a memorable brand experience is important especially in the service sector. Hotels that provide a high level of quality and value in the points of contact with guests provide a good model for creating experience in service activities. They can also, by providing a complete package of services, arouse the excitement of guests to create permanent experiences and stimulate their five senses (Wiedmann et al, 2017). Guests, while choosing their accommodation hotels, pay attention to the brand of them. Having strong and well-known brands facilitates the decision-making process for hotel choosing. People today pay less attention to commercial advertising and more to what others think about the products and services we offer them. Informal communication related to products and services has a strong effect on consumer behavior, which is often greater than the messages received through advertising. These impersonal relationships are known as mouth-to-mouth, and are traditionally and in a face to face method shared between acquaintances (Izadi et al, 2019). It often seems that the increase in sales of a product or service is only due to the successful advertising of companies, but in fact the main motivation of sales is people's talking to each other about the company and its products (Khademi & Murzaei, 2020). According to the above, the main issue of the research is the effect of hotel characteristics on the word-of-mouth marketing behaviors (studied in Kish Island hotels). Theoretical literature Today, having a powerful brand is one of the priorities of many organizations, especially service organizations. Users are looking for redundant information to reduce the uncertainty and complexity of decision-making to reuse. Therefore, electronic word-of-mouth marketing has become the main source of information, and since the hotel industry is one of the main pillars of the tourism industry and its development directly affects the growth and development of the tourism industry, it should receive the necessary attention (Konjkav Monfared & Hoseini, 2020). Noruzi et al, (2020) investigated in their study entitled the study of the mediating role of word-of-mouth electronic advertising in the relationship between the dimensions of empirical marketing and consumer buying intention (Case study: mobile Internet market). The results showed that word-of-mouth electronic advertising also had a positive and significant effect on consumer's purchase intention. The direct effect of empirical marketing as well as its indirect effect through the mediation of electronic word-of-mouth advertising on the consumer's purchase intention has also been confirmed. Khademi & Mirzaei, (2020) investigated the effect of service quality on word-of-mouth marketing with the mediating role of customer loyalty (Case study: Tejarat Bank branches in North Khorasan province). Findings showed that service quality has a positive and significant effect on customer loyalty and word-of-mouth marketing. Also, customer loyalty has a positive and significant effect on word-of-mouth marketing and that the quality of services indirectly affects word-of-mouth marketing through customer loyalty. Methodology The present research is an applicable research in terms of purpose, and a descriptive-survey research in terms of the method used. The statistical population of the study is all customers of Kish Island hotels, in 54 hotels and apartment hotels in the first six months of 2020.

Conclusion The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of hotel characteristics performance on electronic word-of-mouth marketing behaviors (case study of Kish Island hotels). The results of this study are consistent with the results of Noruzi et al (2020) and Konjkav & Hoseini (2020); the results of these researches showed that tourist loyalty also affects brand reputation. Findings of Rahpeyma & Sasanpour (2019) showed that physical components, reliability, guarantee, responsiveness and empathy have a significant effect on e-mail marketing behaviors. Also, the results of this research are consistent with the results of Tang & Yen (2019), who investigated the word-of-mouth e-marketing behaviors in a study entitled The Impact of Hotel Features (Reputation) Performance. The results show that "hotel feature performance, previous word-of-mouth e-marketing experience, and platform convenience" are the drivers of word-of-mouth e-marketing behaviors. Demographic and location preferences do not influence word-of-mouth e-marketing practices. Economic incentives also have no effect on word-of-mouth e-marketing behaviors, which suggests that a good experience cannot be bought. The performance of key features leads to the improvement of word-of-mouth e-marketing activities, but the performance of facilitative features only contributes to the praise of electronic word-of-mouth marketing. (Rah Peyma & Sasan Por, 2019) Research findings showed that physical components, reliability, guarantee, responsiveness and empathy have a significant effect on word-of-mouth e marketing behaviors. According to the present research, hotel managers are suggested to try to make the customers' living environment a memorable and pleasant atmosphere; because a memorable environment can be important for the customers who are going to come to this hotel; and the opinions of previous customers can also be effective in attracting new customers. The managers should try to provide a relaxing environment for customers. The appearance of the hotel staff plays an influential role in attracting new customers; Therefore, the appearance of the staff and the competence of them in different departments is very important, which managers must pay attention to.
