With the development of information and communication technologies, social networks have become an indispensable part of everyday life. This is a special case for members of Generation Z, people born in the mid-1990s to the early 2010s. This generation, characteristic because they grew up in a world of rapid technological progress, global connectivity and social networks, which significantly shaped their characteristics, habits and preferences. Unlike previous generations, Generation Z is the first true digital generation, given that they were exposed to smartphones, the Internet and social networks from an early age. If we connect such generational characteristics with the fact that social networks provide easier and faster access to accurate and reliable information, we can assume how important a role they play in their lives. The aim of this paper is to determine whether social networks have an influence on the destination selection processes of generation Z, one of the most important components of the tourism industry. For this purpose, a survey questionnaire is used to analyze data collected from 92 respondents in an online survey. As part of the research, it was determined that there is a connection between the choice of destinations of members of this generation and social networks. Destination selection, inspiration for selection through photos and videos, detailed travel planning, and advice from friends and family have a significant impact on destination preference.
