THE tourism industry wants to conquer the fears of Europeans that air travel - and therefore a flight to Australia - is a primary cause of global warming.
The Department of Industry, Tourism and Resources is commissioning a study into how Germans and Britons feel about climate change. The study will gauge their worries on the travel plans of two of the largest visitor groups to Australia.
A tender document describing the study notes concern that Britons have an "exaggerated understanding" of the greenhouse emissions contributed by aircraft.
