Sustainability delivers the greatest impact when it is embedded into a project from the very beginning—not added later as a feature or marketing tool. In hospitality and residential development, early integration allows architecture, infrastructure, energy systems, and operations to work together seamlessly, creating more efficient, resilient, and valuable properties.

“At The Strand, handcrafted wood pergolas were incorporated into the architecture to provide shade for the bedrooms and living spaces. Because this decision was made early, shading became part of the architectural identity rather than an external structure added for comfort. Flow-through ventilation was also designed into every room, reducing reliance on mechanical cooling and reinforcing passive climate control strategies”, said John Fair, the visionary developer behind The Strand Turks & Caicos.

In a span of just 10 months, the Turks and Caicos Islands have welcomed over one million visitors, encompassing both air and cruise arrivals. The Ministry of Tourism recently released these statistics, and Tourism Minister Hon Josephine Connolly expressed her satisfaction with the growing influx of visitors and the enhanced offerings for tourists across the islands.

Renowned for its pristine turquoise waters, white sand beaches, world-class resorts, culinary diversity, cultural experiences, and natural beauty, often referred to as ‘Beautiful By Nature,’ the Turks and Caicos Islands continue to attract visitors seeking barefoot luxury and unique experiences.

The increased visitation serves as a testament to the destination’s appeal, prompting Minister Connolly to highlight the country’s efforts to diversify the product experience. She emphasized encouraging visitors to explore the culture, heritage, and various activities available for both day tours and overnight stays beyond Providenciales.

For the period spanning January to October 2023, the Turks and Caicos Islands witnessed 535,893 visitors arriving by air and 677,943 via cruise. Air arrivals for this period marked a 4.8 percent increase over 2022, representing 18 percent growth compared to the figures from 2019. Cruise arrivals, totaling 677,943, indicated a significant 30.5 percent increase compared to the same period in 2022.

Maintaining a consistent trend, the United States continued to be the leading source market, contributing 434,343 arrivals in the ten-month period. The Canadian market saw 35,606 arrivals, and the United Kingdom contributed 8,541 arrivals. Minister Connolly anticipates further increases from the UK and Europe with the introduction of Virgin Atlantic flights.

Stacy Cox, CEO of the Turks and Caicos Hotel and Tourism Association (TCHTA), emphasized that the growth across all source markets bodes well for the destination, especially leading into the US Thanksgiving holiday, as evident in the current week’s visitor arrivals.

Notably, esteemed travel and lifestyle publications such as Travel + Leisure and Conde Nast Traveler have listed the Turks and Caicos Islands among the must-visit destinations for 2024. This recognition further supports the expectation of surpassing visitation figures from both 2019 and 2022.
