Celebrate
the New Year in the Turks and Caicos
September 2005 – It’s time to start making plans for getaways
over the New Year’s holidays, a time when hotel demand is at
a peak. A relaxing and romantic destination is the Turks and Caicos,
an easy flight just beyond the Bahamas, perfect for de-stressing
after the holidays.
“The Turks and Caicos offers an ideal environment for a post-holiday
vacation where visitors can take the time to reflect and embark
on their New Year’s resolutions in an island paradise,”
said Director of Tourism Lindsey Musgrove. “The Islands allow
tourists to take the edge off and enjoy the warm hospitality of
one of the Caribbean’s hidden treasures.”
Why It's Dreamy: The pristine beaches and alluring
warm winter weather in the Turks and Caicos makes it an easy choice
for a romantic getaway. The two of you will find world-class scuba
diving, golfing, luxury spas, fine dining, private island escapes,
and the world’s only conch farm.
