A cyclone off the Australian coast has seen tourists evacuated from the Great Barrier Reef.

Cyclone Ului is approaching from the west of the region, with two islands off the coast of Queensland Heron Island and Lady Elliott Island evacuated.

The Heron Island resort alone has seen 150 visitors and 100 staff head for the mainland, and will now remain closed for up to three days.

Jamaicas Minister for Tourism, Ed Bartlett, is predicting a 6% growth in tourism arrivals to the island this year, almost twice that recorded last year.

The Tourism Minister attributed this to the time and resources spent putting the infrastructure in place to grow the travel and tourism sector, including deliberate strategies to increase air capacity, to the island.

Cruise arrivals, which registered a decline in 2009, are projected to increase by 5% this year.
