Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on Indonesia, as many other nations throughout the globe, particularly on the travel and tourism industry. The most noticeable effect is the decline in tourist visitation, which fell by over 75% in 2020 compared to the prior year. Businesses and workers in the tourism industry have been significantly impacted by the fall in visitor numbers, particularly in Yogyakarta, one of the most well-liked tourist sites in the nation. This study intends to investigate the geographical effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on tourism-related activities. A strategy to determine changes in travel behaviour before and during the COVID-19 pandemic uses social media data, such as Flickr and Twitter. Both social media has been extensively used in tourism related studies in the past. Because December is the busiest month for tourism, Twitter data from that month was chosen as the sample. The selected sample ranges are for 2019, 2020, and 2021. While Flickr data covers from 2018 to 2023, to generate a different perspective than that of Twitter data. The study's findings demonstrate how limitations on community activities significantly influence the traditionally popular tourist attractions. Public spaces, dining establishments, and even hotels are preferred travel destinations by tourists.
