So,....
I like the experience economy stuff - I've been thinking about how tourism experiences fit into their model.
It is a little bit difficult, so I fugure I will go through a maybe a hundred more on RT.com and come up with a list of experiences that people come up with and see where the commonalities lie.
Then develop my own model - probing at the 3/4 different areas - anticipated to be landscape/ learning/ interaction (verbal)/ interaction (natural)

Determining hiking experiences in nature-based tourist destinations
Heavily statistical - quite focussed on landscape features
good lit review, worth following up on.
They look for differences between hilly/rocky/enclosed/forest etc.
definitely one aspect of what i want to look at, but not the whole thing.

The experience of tour reps in maintaining and losing control of holidaymakers
Maybe interesting in that it concerns CIT - what happens when it all goes wrong!
Not useful at this point in time however

The Utilization of Critical Incident Technique to Examine Cruise Passengers' Repurchase Intentions
Very strong article - Led me to think of CET - Critical experience theory
does it make sense?
where does RT fit into this?
Key diagram on page 278
Do I want to consider negatives in the same way as positives?

Towards a structural model of the tourist experience: an illustration from food experiences in tourism
Good lit review - approaches some new and strange aspects of the tourism experience
looks at 'peak' vs 'supporting experiences' and comparisions with the daily routine.
I don't really agree with a lot of what is said - I think mainly becasue it doesn't really fit with SA Tourism - There is an assumption that people only go for one thing - 'peak' whatever that may be - and other stuff just happens. I would make such an assumption about SATourism. i think, for example, food may be one of several main reasons why people go to a foreign land.
There is also the comparison with the daily routine - this isn't really what i want to consider - I want to look at the comparison between different types of experience. The comparision with home - recycling etc. is not really what i want to look at.

Latest on Questionnaire
so, I am in a pretty strange place - I need to write this questionnaire,
and the focus is on experience.
I want it to be pretty open, especially in the pilots
but I guess my main concern is the lack of literature on experience.
I have read around this experience economy - but haven't found a huge amount to support it.
Why isn't there more looking at tourism experiences?

Meeting with HG and XF 7/2
odd meeting
i had preped a 38 pg document on what is out there on Rt, but i really didn't want to talk about it.
HG was interested in Imtrav - so I said it might be a goer - as Jim had said.
Where is the questionnaire?
I was supposed to have this by early Jan - where is it?
They basically said go do it. which i agree with. it can be tested anywhere.
HG mentioned Experience economy which I am all over now. Looks excellent. Harvard.
I asked about getting out and speaking to few souls - They said Footprints man in Ilkley
Exodus man Simon, Fran at Explore.
I asked about ITB - need to check availability.
Get questionnaire written. and test it by next meet.
