The issue surrounding fluctuating visit intentions and environmental quality in coastal destinations prompted this study, which aims to examine the determinants of Gen Z tourists' intentions to visit coastal areas in Tangerang Regency, integrated with the influence of attractiveness, price perception, and tourism amenities. This study used a quantitative approach using a Likert scale questionnaire given to 215 Gen Z respondents. Analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that attractiveness, price perception, and tourism amenities positively impact the intention of Gen Z tourists to visit.
