Turks and Caicos Travel Deals
April 27th, 2010This site exists to help you save you time and money. We search the web for the best Turks and Caicos travel deals and bring them all back here. You only have to visit one place to stay abreast of the latest discounts. If you haven’t made up your mind if you want to vacation in the Turks and Caicos Islands or another Caribbean destination, then we can help you weigh your options. Turks and Caicos is one of the best-kept secrets in the Caribbean. Unlike some of its counterparts, Turks and Caicos hasn’t suffered the effects of overdevelopment and commercialization. For example, Kentucky Fried Chicken spent over a million dollars, trying to open a restaurant in the mid 1990s, but the government closed the place down. Much to the chagrin of residents from other Caribbean countries, the islands have no bowling alley, and aside from activities for tourists, the place gets pretty sleepy by 9pm, except for a handful of bars and clubs. If you prefer tranquility to crowds, then Turks and Caicos travel deals might be a great way to experience the twelve gorgeous miles of Grace Bay Beach on Providenciales. Though Grand Turk is the capitol, Providenciales, or “Provo,” is home to Grace Bay Beach and is also the most popular tourist destination throughout the forty islands and caves. 
Provo has an area of 38 square miles, or 98 square kilometers, and a population of 31,000. However, before you get the wrong impression, you should know that there’s plenty to do on Provo: reef fishing and snorkeling for conch; shopping and fine dining; exploring the cays and natural preserves; whale watching and horseback riding; golf and tennis; swimming and sunbathing. The world’s third largest barrier reef, after the Great Barrier Reef of the eastern coast of Australia and the Belize Barrier Reef off the coast of, you guessed it, Belize, is found in Turks and Caicos. The water on the inside of the reef is ten to twenty feet deep and crystal clear, an ideal spot for getting your scuba certification. Excellent visibility of up to 200 feet, coral reefs, steep walls, and a diversity of tropical flora and fauna draw thousands of divers and snorkelers to Turks and Caicos every year. The islands follow Eastern Standard Time, and with the US dollar as official currency, U.S. travelers will find an easy transition into “island time.” The locals, or “belongers,” as they call themselves, speak English. Turks and Caicos travel deals make it cheaper and easier than ever before to visit the islands and enjoying adapting to their unhurried pace and friendliness.
