Abstract

This study aims to analyze the condition of tourism industry activities, with and without the COVID-19 pandemic. The tourism industries studied are hotel, culinary, travel and tourist sites businesses. The sample obtained in a pandemic condition was only 132 industries , carried out in 3 tourism base areas in Aceh Province, namely Banda Aceh City, Aceh Besar District and Sabang City or Pulau Weh. The study was analyzed using the Quantitative Descriptive Method and The Wilcoxon Test on the tourism industry by comparing the activities of working hours, labor wages expenditure , revenues and other operational costs between with and without the Covid 19 Pandemic. The results reveal that there is a significant difference from the activities of the tourism industry working hours, labor wage expenditure , revenue and other operating costs, with and without a pandemic covid 19. Cost, revenue and profit significantly decreased tourism industries caused by the shrinkage of business activities in the condition of pandemic . The decline in tourism industry revenues was caused by a decrease in the demand for services by tourists, while the labor cost decreased due to a decrease in the number of workers and working hours. It is hoped that government policies will facilitate tourist mobility and do not apply obstacles with very strict large-scale social restrictions.Keywords: Covid 19 Pandemic, Tourism Industry, Wilcoxon Test, Aceh Province
