Abstract
When the whole world experienced the Covid-19 pandemic, almost all sectors both in the public and private sectors were affected, from reducing turnover to stopping all activities. Likewise in the tourism sector, which was once one of the mainstays of both State Foreign Exchange Income and Regional Income, finally came to a halt. To solve this problem, the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (Kemenparekraf) and Kemendikbud made a breakthrough by cooperating with the private sector, namely Virtual Tourism. This policy has been implemented from May until now. This study wants to determine the success rate of virtual tourism innovation by looking at the level of public interest and knowledge about this tourism innovation. The research method used in this paper is the Big Data processing method from social media, namely Instagram. From the results of the analysis, it was found that from 891 posts, not much showed the public's interest in trying Virtual Tourism.
