Airlines use vast amounts of jet fuel. At some stage in the future my sense is there is a genuine possibility we will get a really serious oil shock and fuel prices will go dramatically north, perhaps at a rate and to a level the likes of which are unprecedented. Regardless of climate change or lack thereof that's when we'll get a serious downturn in tourism, perhaps really serious.
