Trip Advisor Readers Rate Turks & Caicos the Best
Written by fp staff

The TCI is making top travel headlines around the globe after being declared the No. 1 beach and sun destination by TripAdvisor’s 2010 reader survey.

Readers cited the powdery white sands, mesmerizing aquamarine waters and plethora of water sports activities as top attractions making this destination the ultimate tropical island experience.

TripAdvisor readers also voted Providenciales in the Top Ten in several other categories, including World’s Top Relaxation and Spa Destination (#8), Top Caribbean Family Destination (#3) and Top Caribbean Romance Destination (#3).

To celebrate the island of Providenciales being named the 2010 World’s Top Beach and Sun Destination by travel Web site Trip Advisor, DiscoverTCI — the Turks and Caicos only locally-based tourism reservation service — is offering great deals on the island’s top hotels and villas. Promotions include free nights, special summer and fall rates, and travel rewards with tour operators and other suppliers.

“The secret is out of the bag,” said Val Kalliecharan, managing director of DiscoverTCI. “Instead of being one of the Caribbean’s hidden gems, Turks and Caicos is rising in popularity, thanks in part to our fantastic beach and sea environment, convenient location, diverse range of accommodations and wide variety of attractions, restaurants and spas. And now, with the special offers and discounts being offered through our service, the Turks and Caicos is an even more appealing getaway location for savvy travelers.”

DiscoverTCI is a centralized reservations service based in the Turks and Caicos that provides in-depth local knowledge to travelers to the Turks and Caicos, including a real-time booking service for nearly 30 hotels and more than 50 villas in the islands and the most current information on special deals, discounts, tours, attractions and water sports activities. The service is staffed by reservation agents that love living and working in Turks and Caicos and are standing by to provide insightful tips and advice through the service’s tool free number (1-877-774-5486), live chat and e-mail.

Kalliecharan added that the DiscoverTCI service works with most of the leading hotels in the Turks and Caicos, including those which were cited with individual recognition in Trip Advisor’s 2010 Traveler’s Choice Award, to customize a unique and personalized experience for visitors.

DiscoverTCI includes a full-featured web site (www.discovertci.com) where travelers can browse accommodation options, view current specials and promotions, make reservations through an automated booking engine, read reviews, view photo galleries, engage in a “live chat” with an on-the-ground agent, send an e-mail with specific questions and/or talk to at Turks and Caicos destination expert in real-time via a toll-free number.

One of the key values the service offers is special rates on hotel packages as well as bonus “Travel Rewards” that include discounts on spas, scuba diving, car rentals and other services.
