It also depended on different sources of secondary data related to its subject. The findings have revealed that Generation Z tourists depend regularly on modern technological applications of tourism e.g. online travel agencies, tourism social media platforms and websites, and they are fond of new technological trends in tourism e.g. virtual tourism.
