The purpose of this paper is to show which discourses are influenced by tourism media texts produced. The method of this research is critical discourse analysis based on Fairclough theory and the three stages of Fairclough critical discourse analysis have been completed. The data of this research are qualitative and from media texts; Lectures, reports, interviews with experts and tourism managers of Iran during the Corona have been obtained. In this paper, based on Fairclough three-step method (description, interpretation and explanation), it was shown that the texts of Iranian tourism media in the Corona period, which represent the reality of the tourism economic crisis in the corona pandemic, are influenced by two discourses. Discourse 1: We will probably encounter a large volume of tourism in Iran in the post-Corona space; because the citizens are very tired of housekeeping, quarantine, cyberspace, virtual tours, etc., and after Corona, with the provision of relatively stable conditions, they will have tourism in their program. The second discourse; the model of tourism in the world and consequently in Iran will change, so that even the way tourists choose their tourist destinations will change.
