Long haul destinations which rely on overseas tourists could become less attractive as ‘carbon neutrality’ becomes a mainstream issue in both the public and private sectors.

As governments introduce or increase regulations/’carbon tax’ the cost of travelling to long haul destinations such as Thailand and Australia could increase making these destinations  less attractive. The long term economic knock-effect on local economies could be considerable (particularly for those destinations which rely heavily on overseas tourism).  At the same time some consumers are also making a personal choice not to take holidays which involve taking a long or short haul flight.
