Buoyed by impressive visitor arrival figures for the first quarter of 2022, Turks and Caicos tourism officials say they are well on the way to a full recovery.
Preliminary data has shown a big jump in tourists making their way to the destination by sea and air. There were 138,762 air arrivals and 173,151 cruise arrivals for the period.
“We are indeed buoyed by these figures, in particular the month of March, which is critical to our sector,” said director of tourism (acting), Turks and Caicos Tourist Board, Mary Lightbourne.
“The first quarter, especially March, is traditionally excellent for winter vacationers, and has seen a robust [change] in visitor arrivals, almost paralleling the corresponding month in 2019, which saw the best pre-COVID arrivals for the sector,” she added.
