Looking at the Crisis Management Practices of the Tourism Businesses in Quirino province, Cost Control posted the highest level of agreement among the respondents. Based on the findings of the study, there is a high significant relationship between the Impacts of CoViD-19 in the Tourism Businesses of Quirino Province and Crisis Management Practices executed by the Tourism Businesses in Quirino Province.
