The introduction of a carbon tax in Australia would have implications for economic and environmental sustainability. Obviously in the longer term the aim of the tax is to promote environmental sustainability but in the short term there will be implications for economic sustainability for a range of businesses and households. Using a range of current sources including reports and newspaper articles discuss the short and longer term implications of a carbon tax for the tourism and hospitality sector.
