I can tell you that higher travel taxes wouldn´t have any consequences for tourism. In Germany we have high taxes especially on gasoline for a longer time. At first everybody was angry about it and said if this will happen I will limit driving with the car. But it never happens! We take the car as often as before. Maybe it causes a traveling at a lower speed.
The most people don´t fly very often, with exception of businessmen, and those will be paid by their companies. And I don´t think that anyone would stop to fly in holidays only because of a little higher taxes.
