Discussion
The aesthetic need & the need to know and understand

From a travel standpoint it has often been suggested that these needs, while less known, carry more weight then the hierarchical needs model in relation to explaining travel motivation, what are your thoughts?

I really like the book chapter, i dont have a great deal of technical advise, but would you consider using the wikiversity quiz in the chapter as opposed to the link?

Feedback
Feel free to add any ideas about my book chapter here:

Hopefully this is how we are supposed to use the "discuss" pages (I am still trying to work it all out). So far I really like your book chapter. With the table that you have (Travel Literature Table) I think that adding external links to the theorists page may help with providing more context for people that may know come from a psychology based background. I also really like how you have used the example of "Jenny" and I really think that you could develop that further and integrate it throughout the chapter. I will add any links/articles or references that may be relevant to you here later on. Good Luck! --U3096823 (discuss • contribs) 10:34, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi!

You've got such a great start on your chapter! I like the use of diagrams and photos, especially Maslow's hierarchy image, I never thought that that would tie in with travelling, but it works. I like how you've linked to a lot of things for people to click on them and learn more about them too, keep up the good work.

Just one thing I noticed is - Your social contributions are to go in your 'my discussion' section. Under a forum called eg. social contributions. otherwise they will appear in your word count. If you are unsure of what I mean you can either look at my discussion page or send me a msg and I will explain further. All the best.

The research you have done so far looks great and has given you a great start, I think it is important to focus on a smooth chapter making sure that each section links to the next and so on. The use of pictures and tables looks great and makes your chapter more inviting to read, keep up the fantastic research and it is going to be a very interesting topicU3097561 (discuss •contribs) 11:39, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Your book chapter looks extremely good so far. All of the charts are neatly organized and youve placed them strategically within your chapter. I really like the quiz you have at the bottom, its a good idea because it allows the readers to get further information on your topic. Good job :) --Uu3148421 (discuss • contribs) 4:18, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi there, I think you've made a great start on your chapter and the topic is very interesting. I like the diagrams and pictures you have included so far and the example of Jenny makes it a great way to apply it to real life. The theories you've discussed so far are easy to understand. I'm not sure if you've already researched this but have you read about the effects of nationality, age and gender on travel motivation? If not, here is an article from 2008 discussing the impact of these factors on people travelling to Barbados http://www.tandfonline.com.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/doi/pdf/10.1080/10548400802508499 and here is another article from 2008 about a study based on gender differences on travel motivation, values and attributes http://content.ebscohost.com.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/ContentServer.asp?T=P&P=AN&K=34230574&S=R&D=bth&EbscoContent=dGJyMNXb4kSeqa440dvuOLCmr02eprVSs6m4SbCWxWXS&ContentCustomer=dGJyMPGptFC3qLNMuePfgeyx44Dt6fIA --U3046579 (discuss • contribs) 12:01, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi, just read your chapter good job! It is really well set out and very informative. In your conclusion you summarised the reasons for the chapter and made some great suggestions for future chapters. Perhaps add into the conclusion a summary of the reasons why people travel more now compared with earlier times just to reiterate the point. Good luck! ---u3079526 - Rhiannon Simpson---

Hello! I just read your book chapter and i think its excellent. One additional thought which i feel may benefit you is also incorporating the drive theory to help explain travel motivation. the [w:Drive theory|Drive theory]] basically just talks about how people are motivated to take action and do something because they are feeling a negative amount of tension and want to restore their harmony. Anyway, just an idea and i hope it helps! Goodluck and i am looking forward to reading this! --U3034876 (discuss • contribs) 01:01, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

Hey, you chapter is looking very good, i especially like the quiz you incorporated in the first image, it really got me interested at the start of the chapter to keep reading. Good job !
