    This paper aims to examine the effects of the tourist experience on environmentally responsible behaviour and the mediating role of environmental sensitivity. Additionally, it was examined whether the impact on environmentally responsible behaviour differs between men and women. The study was conducted on tourists visiting Yoroz Urban Forest in Ordu, Türkiye. 279 tourists filled out face-to-face questionnaires between May and October 2021. The convenience sampling method was used to collect data from the sample group. Tourist experience was tested in the form of two sub-factors: Resource & Environmental Experience and Facility Management Experience. SmartPLS program was used for data analysis. Since the scales are reflective, the covariance-based structural equation model (CBSEM) method was used. According to the result, resource & environmental experience, facility management experience, and environmental sensitivity positively and significantly affected environmentally responsible behaviour. In addition, environmental sensitivity has a positive mediation effect between tourism experience and environmentally responsible behaviour. However, the mediation effect of environmental sensitivity is partial. © 2024, Journal of Toursm & Development. All rights reserved.
