Balancing the tourist industry with protecting the planet

Holidays are a time to relax and set aside worldly cares... but when your destination is at risk of wildfires, flooding or heatwaves, the warming climate may bring those cares back to the fore. During the northern hemisphere's summer, Greece, Italy, Algeria and Tunisia combined lost more than 1,350 square kilometers to blazes that affected 120,000 people in late July. And here in Australia, we are no strangers to the dangers of a warming climate. So does environmental consideration impact the behaviour and choices of tourists?
