The Turks and Caicos Islands are planning to resume tourism and reopen borders from July 22. Being one of the prominent tourist destinations, the islands are planning to welcome tourists from abroad following all safety measures.
Sharlene Cartwright Robinson, Premier of the Turks and Caicos Islands, made this announcement on Friday and said that the new guidelines and all the other specifications regarding this will be shared in the coming weeks.
According to Pamela Ewing, Director of Tourism for the Turks and Caicos Islands Tourist Board, the government is eager and excited to welcome travellers back to the stunning Turks and Caicos Islands later this summer. She also said that they are planning to reopen the borders in July.
She further said, “Our intention is to cautiously reboot the tourism sector, laying the foundation for short- and long-term recovery.”
According to the tourist boards, the hotels, resorts, villas, restaurants, bars, and tour operators are preparing themselves to accept bookings for future holidays. Not only this, the moment these islands are all ready and prepared with all safety measures, flight services will also resume from within the United States of America, Canada, and Europe, as of now.
Private jet terminals are also all set to open on July 22, however, the Grand Turk Cruise Center will remain closed until August 31.
Along with Turks and Caicos Islands, several other prominent Caribbean tourist destinations are also gearing up to welcome holidaymakers. The US Virgin Islands opened their gates to travellers on June 1, and Saint Lucia is set to reopen from June 4.
