      You really don't understand tourists, do you? The most adventurous ones of all are the ones willing to get out in the bush and into the villages. Not those coming to cities. You can't convert people into what fits your perspective or image. Instead, you need to get away from your pet ideas, step back, and look at how tourists actually behave. Only then can you develop strategies that might actually attract some more to PNG. The fact is, as long as there's a Cairns and a Bali, it will be a steep uphill climb.
