The current study aims to investigate the intention to use Facebook - an online social network (OSN) for travel planning by examining the effect of Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease Of Use and Enjoyment. Secondary data are from the journals, books and other sources of information from websites and published reports of businesses and primary data are from the consultations with 5 experts, 2 group discussions and 4 in-depths structured interviews and survey by questionnaires with 200 Gen-Z users.

The study has demonstrated the TAM model’s applicability to the setting of the usage of Facebook for travel planning in Gen-Z.
