Abstract
Although women and men have equal rights and freedoms in accessing tourism resources and in touristic travels, it can be said that there is an understanding of inequality prevailing in Turkey and throughout the world. In this study, it was examined whether the perception of female tourists traveling alone has an effect on the intention to travel alone, and whether the perception of female tourists traveling alone and intention to travel alone differ by generation. When the national literature is examined, a limited number of studies have been found on the relationship between the perception of female tourists traveling alone and their intention to travel alone. Therefore, it is thought that this study will contribute to the literature. The theoretical background of the study is based on planned behavior theory, liberal feminism theory and social impact theory. The population of the study consists of the female population in the TR90 Eastern Black Sea region (Artvin, Giresun, Gümüşhane, Ordu, Rize, Trabzon). The data were collected by using a questionnaire. The method of the study is the relational screening model, which is included in the screening models. ANOVA Test, correlation analysis, simple linear regression analysis and hierarchical (ordinal) regression analysis were used to analyze the study findings. In line with the data obtained from the study, it was concluded that women's perception of traveling alone has an effect on travel intention and that travel perception and travel intention do not differ according to generations.
