This study examines the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on tourism-related establishments in Guiuan, Eastern Samar. The study used a descriptive-quantitative method of research. A survey questionnaire was conducted with 236 participants using mean and standard deviation to determine the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on tourism-related establishments and the strategies used by tourism-related businesses to survive during the pandemic. Moreover, a T-test was used in this study to determine the significant difference between variables. The respondents strongly agreed that the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected tourism-related establishments, resulted to hamper their business operations and activities.
