Abstract: This study explores how newspapers are responding to tourism in an extreme political crisis. The study analyses the news published in international newspapers using news analytics techniques. A qualitative inquiry by adopting a detailed analysis of the top ten online newspapers on the topics of war and its impact on tourism is used to analyse the data. Despite several studies on the political crisis and tourism, there are no studies conducted analysing online newspaper articles on how tourism shapes and reshapes due to the impact of war through a thematic analysis of online news. This paper explores the reflective views of news on the social, economic, behavioural, political, geopolitical, and international relations aspects of tourism during the Russia-Ukraine war. Our analysis reveals that the war impacts tourism with varied intensity throughout the world. Importantly, our study also contends the emergence of a 'gesture of solidarity'.
