Abstract: This study discusses green entrepreneurship intentions and their relationship with environmentalism and green entrepreneurial self-efficacy in the political acceptance model (PAM) context. Using convenience sampling, 389 face-to-face surveys were administered to participants during April-May 2023. The findings suggest that usability and ease of use positively affect green entrepreneurial self-efficacy. Green entrepreneurial self-efficacy has a positive impact on green entrepreneurial intentions. Entrepreneurship education has a positive effect on environmentalism. Environmentalism to the environment positively impacts green entrepreneurial self-efficacy and green entrepreneurial intentions. Tourism education makes pupils more entrepreneurial and familiar with green tourism practices.

Keywords: green entrepreneurship; students; tourism education; policy acceptance model; PAM.
