More specifically, this study analyzes the relationship between COVID-19 and subsectors of tourism throughout different periods of the pandemic. Design/methodology/approach - Qualitative research techniques were applied, and content analysis used, to analyze the collected data. The news contents obtained cover two one-week periods: March 5-12, 2020, and April 5-12, 2020. The content analysis method and MAXQDA program were used to analyze the data. Findings - The research findings reveal that tourism and news related to COVID-19 were heavily connected with the travel industry during March 5-12, 2020, with concentrations slightly favoring the hospitality industry. In the period of April 5-12, 2020, the strong relationship between tourism and travel continued. During the latter period, the hospitality and the events industries were both subjects of relevant news.

Examining different media outlets and different news cycles may produce different results. Originality/value - This is one of the first studies to examine the relationship between the pandemic and the tourism industry from a macro perspective in the context of news coverage.
