The Turks & Caicos Islands have a long-standing relationship with the British Crown and became a British Commonwealth Colony in 1962. The country is now officially designated an “Independent Overseas Territory.”

Today, the nearly 16,000 who live there are employed primarily by the island’s two main industries: tourism and offshore banking (the islands do not levy personal or corporate taxes).

The Turks & Caicos Islands appeal to vacationers looking for a secluded and serene Caribbean destination, as well as to sports fishermen and divers who appreciate the crystal-clear waters, spectacular reefs, and rich sea life. The low-key nightlife and the fact that there is no cruise port on Providenciales add to the air of island exclusivity.
