In Reply to: Why point out places in Aust. that posted by sherbert on Sunday, 4. July 2010 at 11:19 Bali Time:
because of all the media hype that is clearly designed to stop people from travelling to Bali (hence previous posts commenting on the fact the media released this story on the same day the tourism industry reported a slump in Australia).
It is common sense to say that the same precautions should be taken anywhere diseases are prevalent (whether in the country you live or elsewhere). I happen to live in Australia and choose to holiday to Bali regularly so I can't very well comment on other countries experiencing dengue fever can I? However if I could, I would because I choose to be a helpful, caring person and that is what this forum is about...
