Abstract

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic affects greatly all aspects of life, including the tourism sector. The pandemic affects traveler’s motivation in planning their canceled trip on a chosen destination. This paper aims to give alternatives in tourism using a virtual-based tourist destination in Indonesia. The method used is employing Google Form to know the travelers’ motivation who want to take a virtual tour. While the sample is analyzed using probability sampling, in which the sample is taken by giving the same probability to each sample population. There are 80 samples who are the participants in virtual tourism. The result of this paper shows that these participants’ marks on virtual tourism as a whole are as follows: 90% very good, 10% good, and 0% less than satisfactory. On the other hand, the participants’ marks on the time of virtual tourism are as follows: 82% very good, 12% good, 6% less than satisfactory. This paper ends by concluding that virtual tourism during a pandemic can be considered as an alternative to boost the tourism sector.
