Tick Alert is a disease awareness campaign advising travellers planning trips to 16 European countries including emerging destinations for outdoor tourism such as Croatia, Slovenia and Slovakia to protect against Tick Borne Encephalitis (TBE). Most visitors to Europe do not consider obtaining travel advice about health risks at their destination, but Tick Borne Encephalitis (TBE) represents a potentially serious health risk to those planning outdoor activities such as walking or camping. TBE endemic Europe spreads from the Rhine to the Urals, from Scandinavia to Central Europe, taking in long established tourist destinations as well as popular new holiday hot spots. At risk groups include campers, hikers and other outdoor sports participants. Families with young children and the elderly are especially vulnerable. No endemic country is obliged to draw tourist attention to TBE – but the fact that many conduct inoculation programmes for their resident populations should be heeded by all UK visitors.
