FN ISI Export Format VR 1.0 PT J TI Interactive Virtual Tours as a Business for Tour Guides AF Münger, Jessica AU Münger, J AB A massive impact was caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on the tourism industry worldwide which led to countries force closing their borders to tourists and therefore experiencing major losses. However, with an innovative solution of offering virtual tours via live streaming, Amazing Swiss Trips was yet able to generate income and prevent itself from bankruptcy.  This bachelor thesis aims to identify factors that affect people's willingness to use virtual tourism during and after the pandemic and how virtual tourism can aid the recovery of the tour guide business. A comprehensive literature review and two surveys were conducted among Indonesian residents to collect the information needed. To further determine effective strategies and recommendations, an internal analysis of the firm was conveyed by interviewing the CEO. Finally, findings from the research methods are presented along with a detailed implementation of the business model for virtual tours for tour guides. ER
