The study examines the mediation role of fear of COVID-19 on the relationships between the ambiguity of death and intolerance of uncertainty related to the holiday. Data was obtained from a total of 538 participants in the quantitative research and a total of 19 participants in the qualitative research in Türkiye. Quantitative results showed that the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty related to holiday and ambiguity of death was partially mediated by fear of COVID-19. Qualitative results differ in some points. This study sheds light on the perception of travel risk and its causes and offers a new perspective.
