If it is travertine you are fixing you will find that the weight of the travertine is heavier than the weight ratio of the plaster (20 kg/m2) wall. The plaster should be removed and tiled directly onto the plaster board (32 kg/m2) with no scim on.
You should use a acrylic primer then a cement based adhesive as this is much stronger, use a 10 mm round notch floor trowel to apply the adhesive, make sure you seal the travertine before you grout and fill all the holes in
