Abstract (english)	The paper’s topic is the linguistic analysis of narratives about Croats, Croatian tourism and Croatia during the pandemic in texts on German portals. Pandemic communication on foreign countries in domestic media can be seen as a frame for tourist branding. It is expected that the image of a particular country as a tourist destination during the pandemic will be related to the topic of security. One of the sources from which potential tourists get information about the epidemiological safety of specific sources is their media. Therefore, in this article, the emphasis is on analysing the German media related to the mentioned topics. The research was conducted on texts that have been singled out on the most visited portals in 2021. According to the data available on statista.de, the following portals were used: tportal.de, FOCUS ONLINE and bild.de (statista.de). Texts and statements published during 2020, 2021 and 2022 were analysed. Linguistic analysis refers to the qualitative analysis of the texts and discourse based on semantics and grammar structures in order to indicate dominative narratives. The results show the presence of a narrative about Croatia and insufficient information related to epidemiological frameworks, vaccination, and general behaviour during the pandemic.
