Abstract

Tourism currently becomes one of the sources of state revenues. Local tourism, particularly in Bantul, developed tourist attractions of Mangunan pine forest to boost the economy of the region and make state revenue as well. Unfortunately, due to the Covid 19 virus, the tourism is closed down by the Tourist Office in Bantul district which impacted the economy of related groups, society, and the government. This paper aims to discover the impact of COVID-19 on tourist visits to the Mangunan pine forest in Bantul. The researchers use a descriptive qualitative approach and collect information from mass media and print media in Yogyakarta from February to March. The results show that before the Coronavirus, people around the tourist object involved in community building tourism generally had an increased income, but when Corona outbreak hit, both the community in Mangunan Village and Bantul regional government experience a decline in income.

Analisis Program Bantuan Presiden Produktif Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah Pada Masa Pandemi Covid-19 Kabupaten Sleman Yogyakarta

Banpres atau BPUM memiliki beberapa kriteria dan persyaratan bagi calon penerima bantuan (Peraturan Menteri Koperasi, Usaha Kecil, Dan Menengah Republik Indonesia Nomor 6 Tahun 2020 Tentang Pedoman Umum Penyaluran Bantuan Pemerintah Bagi Pelaku Usaha Mikro Untuk Mendukung Pemulihan Ekonomi Nasional Pada Masa Pandemi n.d.…”
