Turks & Caicos ready to welcome back tourists next month

Sunday, 01 Jun, 2020 0

The Turks & Caicos will lay out the welcome mat for tourists again beginning July 22.

It hopes to kickstart tourism with the rollout of new safety protocols with ‘stringent standards, training, and personal protective equipment, among other necessary measures,’ said Turks & Caicos premier, Sharlene Cartwright-Robinson.

Specific details will be announced soon.

"We are eager and excited to reopen our borders and safely welcome travelers back later this summer," said Pamela Ewing, director of tourism for the Turks & Caicos Islands Tourist Board.

"Our intention is to cautiously reboot the tourism sector, laying the foundation for short- and long-term recovery."

Flights from the US, Canada and Europe will restart ‘as soon as the destination is ready.’

The tourism board said hotels and resorts, restaurants and tour operators are now developing the  standardized health and safety measures ahead of the reopening.

The Grand Turk Cruise Centre will stay closed until at least August 31.
