Dinamik bir yapıya sahip olan turizm sektörü, Covid-19 pandemi sürecinden olumsuz yönde etkilenenler arasındadır. Turist-çevre ve turist-yerel halk ilişkisinde aracı bir rol üstlenen ve ülkesinin imajını yansıtan turist rehberleri de diğer turizm personeli gibi pandemi nedeniyle hiç çalışamamışlar veya az çalışarak ekonomik olarak zor bir dönem geçirmişlerdir. Araştırmanın temel amacı, turist rehberlerinin Covid-19 öncesi ve sürecindeki ekonomik kazançlarına, bu süreçte yaşadıkları sorunlara ve Covid-19 sonrası ekonomik beklentilere yönelik pandemi etkisini ortaya çıkarmaktır. Araştırmada 30 turist rehberi ile yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme gerçekleştirilmiştir. Görüşmeler sonucu elde edilen bilgiler ışığında, Covid-19 öncesi ve sürecindeki turist rehberlerinin ekonomik kazançları, Covid-19 sonrası ekonomik beklentileriyle ilgili veriler üç ana ve 10 alt temada değerlendirilerek içerik analiz tekniğiyle incelenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, turist rehberlerinin pandeminin ilk altı ayı ekonomik kazanç elde edemedikleri ve pandemi döneminde ise düşük ücretler altında çalışmak zorunda kaldıkları ortaya çıkmıştır.
The tourism sector, which has a dynamic structure is among those adversely affected by the covid-19 pandemic process. Tourist guides, who play an intermediary role for in the relationship between tourist-environment and tourist-local people and reflect the image of their country, have not been able to work due to pandemic just like other tourism employees or have a difficult period economically due to the pandemic with little work. The main purpose of the study is to reveal the impact of the covid-19 pandemic on the economic gains of the tourist guides during the covid 19 process, the problems they experience in this process, and the economic expectations after covid 19. The data on the economic gains of the tourist guides before covid-19, during covid-19 process and economic expectations after the process were examined with the content method in the three main and 10 sub-themes. As a result of the study, it was revealed that the economic gains of the tourist guides in the first six months of the epidemic were almost non-existent. Another result of the study points out that in the later period after the effect of covid-19 started to decrease, the tour guides worked for low wages.
