Queensland's 'third world' travel warning
A POPULAR British travel website has posted a travel warning about Cairns' dengue fever outbreak in a worrying sign for the Far North's tourism industry.

Carrentals.co.uk, a site where tourists can compare rental car prices when travelling to Australia, posted the warning, saying the disease is rapidly spreading through the Far North, causing authorities major concern, Cairns.com.au reports.

The warning says dengue fever has been on the rise throughout summer in Queensland, despite it "usually being associated with developing countries".

"The government of Queensland is publicly vowing to stop the spread of the disease to other regions, and had told residents to stay away from areas of stagnant water," the travel warning says.

"Most at risk from the debilitating effects of the disease are babies and young children."

Tourism Tropical North Queensland chief executive Rob Giason said dengue fever was a constant factor in many tropical areas visited by international tourists but was confident it would not affect the tourism industry.

"We have to make sure it does not alarm people," he said.
