Turner, namely the elements of the symbolic convergence process in the form of: fantasy theme (fantasy theme), fantasy chain (fantasy chain), fantasy type (fantasy type), rhetorical visions (rhetorical visions). The type of research used is descriptive with a qualitative approach. The paradigm used is the constructivist paradigm. The subjects in this study were employees of travel agents. The travel agent companies chosen by the author are HIS Travel and Panorama. Data collection techniques using Focus Group Discussion (FGD).

The results of the study show: 1) Fantasy theme, each travel has its own policy to maintain the company in the midst of the CoVid-19 pandemic, namely layoffs of employees with contract and permanent status, salary reductions, selling products outside the field of work. 2) Fantasy chain, the company has implemented Work From Home and from WFH employees do not get transportation and meal fees and employees are also required to take unpaid leave, which is forced to work from home and do work outside the jobdesk. 3) Fantasy type, namely the company lays off employees to reduce company losses. 4) The rhetorical vision includes that tourism purchasing power is not optimal because there are many crowds of people in tourist objects, so people are still afraid to travel. This study concludes that the presence of Symbolic Convergence affects the conversations and assumptions of travel agent workers.
