Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has put great pressure on the tourism industry, such as a decrease in the arrival of domestic and foreign tourists, a decrease in the tourism business, and its derivatives. The dependence of tourists on technology and information has recently proven to be quite significant, especially in the covid-19 pandemic situation. Virtual Tour has recently been considered as an alternative but cannot replace the experience gained from direct tourism activities. The study used a systematic review analysis technique by taking data sources through the Scopus.com website page, by having a data search limit in the form of keywords such as: Virtual Tourism; Ecotourism; COVID-19, and the limitations of the research carried out are 2000-2020. Based on the search results on Scopus, with the keywords Tourism and Pandemic, there are 124 studies in question and are divided into three clusters, namely the Tourism industry, Country, and Loss clients. This study uses a literature review method by collecting data from Scopus. Sebumi.id as the subject of this research shows that virtual tours have advantages, namely the messages and meanings conveyed are more channeled to tourists. From the observation and directly experiencing the Virtual Experience package from Sebumi.id, it was found that Sebumi Virtual Experiences is audio, visual with 360 and VR materials specially made to provide environmentally friendly travel experiences and sustainable activities from home.
