Abstract

In this study, it is tried to investigate the effectiveness of Covid-19 fiscal subsidies on hotel employees in Turkey. A qualitative research methodology consisting of an open-ended question form was used in the study. Researchers preferred this method due to the inconvenience of interviews with participants and participants residing in different provinces of Turkey during the Covid-19 pandemic. In the study, the questions answered by the participants were analyzed with the MAXQDA program, which helps the coding and analysis processes. The results of the study show that hotel employees are not sufficiently supported during the pandemic in Turkey. In particular, seasonal hotel employees have experienced great fiscal and moral problems. The study is important in terms of revealing the effectiveness of subsidies on seasonal and permanent employees. The study suggests solutions for employment in the tourism sector to policymakers in extraordinary periods that may occur in the future.
