Discovering Turks & Caicos on your Honeymoon

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.
