Incidentally, I've booked myself onto a workshop on the 26th of this month to review this essay and get feedback before submitting it later this year or early next for assessment for the distinction.
Interestingly the workshop is looking not just at Travel but also at Visual Art. I don't know what Visual Art is, so I thought I'd better check. According to the RPS "The Visual Art Group was founded in January 1921 "to foster the interest and advancement in all matters relating to Pictorial Photography". ". Apart from the pioneers such as Stieglitz and Emerson, whom I admire tremendously, I have always tried to steer clear of pictorial photography, so it should make for an interesting day.
