Çin’in Wuhan kentinde ortaya çıkıp, tüm dünyayı etkisi altına alan yeni tip Koronavirüs salgınından turizm sektörü olumsuz etkilenmiştir. Sektörün en önemli aktörlerinden turist rehberleri de bu süreçte olumsuzluklar yaşamışlardır. Bu kapsamda çalışmanın amacı pandemi sürecinin rehberler üzerindeki etkilerini belirlemeye çalışmak olmuştur. Araştırmada Ankara Turist Rehberleri Odası’na bağlı, eylemli 16 turist rehberi ile çevrimiçi ve telefon aracılığıyla yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Görüşmelerden elde edilen veriler betimsel analiz tekniği ile çözümlenmiş ve ekonomik, güven ve gelecek planlamaları şeklinde gruplandırma yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonuçlarında, rehberlerin bu süreçte ekonomik anlamda ciddi sıkıntılar yaşadığı ve kendilerine sunulan maddi destekten çok düşük miktarlarda yararlanabildiği ortaya çıkmıştır. Güven konusunda ise rehberler, çalışma ortamında gerekli tüm önlemleri almalarına rağmen yine de kendilerini güvensiz hissettiklerini belirtmişlerdir. Gelecek planlamasında birçok turist rehberinin, mesleklerinin haricindeki alternatif seçeneklere, özellikle akademik kariyere yöneldikleri görülmüştür.
