Tourism in the Turks and Caicos Islands
Overview of tourism in Turks and Caicos
Tourism in the Turks and Caicos Islands is an industry that generates more than 1 million tourist arrivals per year,[1] and is "the main source of revenue for the country. The tourism industry began in the 1980s, with the opening of Club Med Turquoise, the country's first main resort."[2] "Tourism has benefited from the proximity to the United States and the stability via being a British Overseas Territory. The opening of a cruise port on Grand Turk in 2006 resulted in a significant increase in tourism arrivals to the country."[3]
