“…The SMPs play a vital role in the decision-making of tourists/recreationists (Chu et al, 2020;Yağmur, 2020;Aktaş et al, 2024), word-of-mouth communication, and travel recommendations (Cheng & Edwards, 2015).

“…Whereas SMPs enable travelers to discover new destinations/activities, it influences behavior in triggering or discouraging visits/activities to the destination. Furthermore, SMPs also affect collective responses to disasters, including coordination of activities in crisis situations, communication with society, and communication between citizens, while reducing the risks of participating in the activity/exploration of the destination (Aktaş et al, 2024). However, the use of SMPs can have a positive impact on users' sense of social connectedness by creating social capital, disseminating innovative ideas (Jabeen et al, 2023), and contributing to personal representation, while users making negative comparisons with themselves (McCarthy et al, 2023) cause many negative experiences such as social media addiction, fatigue, exhaustion, fear of missing opportunities, and fake news (Jabeen et al, 2023).…”

Generation Z’s (Gen-Z) technology-centered lifestyles have resulted in a departure from traditional behavior patterns, particularly in their use of social media platforms (SMPs) for leisure activities. In this regard, an exploratory, qualitative research approach was adopted in the present study, which deeply understands the perceptions and feelings of Gen-Z members’ engagement with the SMPs for their leisure pursuits. Inductive content analysis was performed on the data collected from 107 Gen-Z member university students selected using convenience sampling. The perspectives and internal and external motivations of Gen-Z members towards producing content on SMPs are discussed within the scope of social comparison and social presence theories, while their views on whether to perform recreational activities are built on the theoretical foundations of leisure constraints (intrapersonal, interpersonal, and structural) and facilitators. Gen-Z behaviors regarding joining or not joining groups were framed based on social media engagement (behavioral, affective, and cognitive) and leisure constraints. The results obtained will lead to the opening of new discussion areas for the creation of modern marketing strategies for the recreation industry, marketing organizations, and public institutions and organizations.
