Discovering Turks & Caicos on your
Honeymoon
|
|
Another British overseas
territory, the Turks and Caicos is
composed of 2 islands with the larger
ones known as Caicos and the smaller one
known as Turks.
It is
located just 550 miles outside of Miami,
Florida. Northeast of the
country is the island of Hispanola
and southeast is Mayaguana (both located
in the Bahamas).

Its capital is known
as Cockburn Town in Grand Turk. Turks and Caicos has a
relatively small population with only about 36,000
residents; 22,500 of whom reside mainly in Providenciales
in Caicos. Despite this they experience a large influx of
tourists each year- roughly 200,000; a lot of whom are
couples seeking a Turks and Caicos
honeymoon.
Based on this we
can already tell that tourism is one of the main sources
of economic growth for the islands and it boasts a large
number of Turks and Caicos
attractions.
Given its
location, the United States and Canada are the two main
sources of tourists. To be able to make the most out of
the tourism industry they offer a wide range
of activities to suit just about all types
of tourists. There are high end luxury resorts which are
marketed mainly for the wealthy and cruises are also made
available for the masses.
All inclusive resort in Turks &
Caicos are available for any type of
budget as well. You can even find a range of
luxury
hotels for a Turks and Caicos
honeymoon that will appeal to
any budget, both large and small.
When it comes to food
and dining you can find a wide range of restaurants to
eat form in the islands. Many hotels feature gourmet
restaurants with world renowned chefs while you can also
find smaller local restaurants where you can get a taste
of authentic island food. Seafood’s are of course
abundant given the location of the place. Lobster and
conch chowder are two popular dishes. Other than this you
might also want to try Hominy which is cooked with peas
and dried conch; it is a national specialty. Tourists
will also be pleased to find that alcohol is available on
the islands with a wide range of beers and spirits to
choose from.
A trip to the Turks
and Caicos will have you experiencing many different
things. You can enjoy the many natural wonders that are
around, the wildlife and of course the relics of history.
A rich culture can also be discovered here. Music is a
much celebrated thing on the islands where they have a
musical genre known as ripsaw music. Aside from
this you will also hear a lot of other types of music
such as calypso, rapso, reggae, soca, Jukanoo and others.
Something that couples on a Turks and Caicos honeymoon
can look forward to is the annual music and culture
festivals that they celebrate.
A stay at Turks and
Caicos can be both very exciting and romantic. If you are
thinking about spending some time here in the future you
won’t need to worry much about getting money changed
since the currency used throughout the place is the US
dollar. This will make life easier for you to arrange
car
rentals in Turks and also paying for other
things.
So get planning on
your holiday here. It will be a time never to
forget!
