The purpose of this study is (a) to reveal the specific phobias that prevent individuals from participating in recreational experiences and (b) to examine the effects of these specific phobias on young people's travel intention. A total of 333 young people studying at Kırklareli University participated in the study. Descriptive statistics, Factor Analysis and model measurement with SmartPLS4 were performed in the study. According to the results of the research, 202 of 333 young individuals have type A and 131 of them have type B personality structure. According to the EFA results, 5 factor structures measuring Specific Phobias (situational1_fobia, situational2_fobia, animal phobia, clastrophobia, injury phobia) emerged. According to the model test results, it was concluded that the fact that individuals with type A personality structure have situational 2fobia affects the travel intention of type A individuals at a rate of 0.36%. For young individuals with type B personality, it was concluded that specific phobias did not have a significant effect on travel intention. It can be argued that the research will be a guide for recreation planners and tourism marketers.
