Within the scope of the research, a survey was conducted with 401 participants who were reached by convenience sampling method among the tourists who visited Horma Canyon between 06.05.2023-and 25.06.2023. In parallel with the purpose of the study, as a result of the analysis, it was determined that entertainment and aesthetic experiences, which are sub-dimensions of experience, have a significant effect on behavioral intention. Education and escape experiences were found to have non-significant effects on behavioral intention. In line with the results obtained, theoretical and practical suggestions were developed.
