meeting 25/5

Issues with title of my piece. use of word 'selling' and link to 'mainstream'
the work was fine though - HG keener than XF. XF had issues with weak first couple of pages - the pages rewritten to simplify the whole piece. Need to rewrite with more back-up. Brutland 87, Earth summit, ecotourism, joberg, sustainable tourism, etc. A deeper setting.

The sampe was discussed and HG suggested 3 TOs, with one as a more 'mainstream' option.
This would give 2 'mainstream' like explore or exodus and one even more mainstream but with similar product.

I raised the point about observation - opportunity for much richer data. They seems to agree. A prolonged period in destination could capture all i needed.

The questionnaire was addressed. Strong allignment with the Co-op work recommended. I suggested some alignment with HG's work. Agreed. Suggestion from HG to go and speak to Co-op people when appropriate.

Issue of framework raised. XF mentioned Fishbein, who I had been looking at - and another more aligned with ethics. There was an apparant shift from RT focus to ethical focus. Do people become more ethical per se, rather than single focus on RT.

R1 seemed to be binned. no real discussion. september 13-24 now. strange atmosphere. I have no issues do this. reasoning was odd though.

I feel XF has reservations about my writing and deeper understanding of the subject. We tend to have a habit of approaching methodology, without me ever advancing. need to address this by next meeting.

Focus for next 2 weeks must be on the conference however.
