After Covid-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, the number of cases and deaths has rapidly increased throughout the world. Following the process, the limitation decisions (the ban on the street, the travel restriction, the social distance, the quarantine) and the personal measures (masks, disinfectants) began to decrease the number of cases and the reduction of the restrictions began the process of normal return called "new normal". In this newly normal process, the tourist attitudes and behaviors are expected to change. This is caused by high risk and fear. Perceived high risk and fear can change tourist attitude and behavior. In this direction, the study aims to study the consumer attitude of Turkish tourists after Covid-19. In the research planned in the Qualification Design, the interview was preferred as a method of data collection and the data was collected from 10 participants with the help of a semi-configured interview form. The research has found that tourists have changed their tourist consumer attitudes after Covid-19. It is believed that the findings from the research will contribute to tourism professionals, destination managers and researchers who work on the subject.
