The Minister for Pacific Peoples, Aupito William Sio, wants more dengue warnings to reach travellers leaving from New Zealand and Australia.
Samoa's health ministry says nearly 2500 people contracted the mosquito-borne disease in the last three months of last year, and five of them died of it.
Aupito William Sio, who's currently in Samoa, says that on his way there he didn't notice much information for travellers about the disease.
"I'm not quite sure what the best way of getting the message out," he said.
