He predicts that the Mediterranean beach holiday will be a thing of the past by 2030 and that European skiing is in a terminal decline.
He has also pointed out that 30 per cent of coral reefs are already badly damaged.
He claimed that, in general, people acted irresponsibly on holiday, claiming the average tourist in Spain used 880 litres of water a day, compared to 250 litres used by a city dweller.
He fully supported offsetting of carbon emissions and said that business and travellers alike need to start thinking about the environment whenever they plan their travels.
