This final approval clears the way for the construction of the Turks and Caicos Islands’ newest multi-million dollar luxury accommodations in Providenciales – the Turks Cay Resort and Marina in Turtle Cove.  Hamilton Real Estate an association of Savills International is the exclusive listing agent for the sales and marketing of the $100 million six stories boutique resort.

Sam Hunt, Sales and Marketing Manager of Hamilton Real Estate and the Turks Cay Resort and Marina, has already been meeting with interested buyers as the developer gets ready to break ground at the Turtle Cove site.

Commenting on the property’s sales progression, Hunt said: “We currently have two sales offices, one at our new Grace Bay location and we have an on-site Sales Villa located on the beach right next to the property in Turtle Cove.

“From these two locations we have been meeting interested persons who come in and view a model of what the entire resort will look like upon completion. They can also view the property next door to the Villa office.

“We also have brochures outlining every one of the amazing amenities that will be offered at the Turks Cay Resort and Marina.

“Basically anything you need to know with regard to the selling and marketing of the property, we will provide you with that information at either our Grace Bay Office or our Villa Sales office.”

Kislin said: “The Turks and Caicos Islands has done a fantastic job of marketing itself – in really getting the word out to the rest of the world that they are open for business for new developments and opportunities.

“With Turks Cay Resort and Marina we will offer a very high end product with the amenities that the upper tier market around the world is really looking for in a vacation getaway.

“This is how the Islands have been presenting themselves, and that is what I am going to deliver for the country.”

The land on which the resort will be built is a very unique piece of property; it stretches over 16.5 acres with 780 linear feet on a cove, all of which is abutting the Turtle Cove Marina.

In the middle of the marina there is a small island called Diddle Cay which now belongs to the development. Prices will start in the early $600’s for studio units with a make-up and mixture of studio, 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom units as well as 11 luxury Penthouses set over two floors with their own roof top swimming pools. There will be a total of 143 rooms within the resort.

The entire resort development will consist of condominiums, casino, spa, sporting facilities, restaurants, bars, retail shopping, a boardwalk, swimming pool and deck and a marina.  It also boasts 775 feet of beach frontage on Grace Bay and 2,300 linear feet of dockage.  The property will be one of the lowest densities in the TCI.

The “Rate Your Ride” system empowers tourists to provide valuable feedback on the quality of transportation services they receive while visiting the Turks and Caicos Islands. Through an easy-to-use online form, tourists can rate factors such as cleanliness, comfort, safety, and professionalism of drivers, helping us to assure the highest quality of service standards across all modes of transportation.

By participating in the “Rate Your Ride” system, tourists play a crucial role in shaping the future of transportation services in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Their feedback will enable us to identify areas for improvement and ensure that every visitor enjoys safe, comfortable, and convenient travel throughout their stay in the Turks and Caicos.

The code will also be publicly accessible through the cooperation of volunteer drivers who will make the rating code available in their vehicles. Flyers and stickers displaying the code will be distributed at hotels, resorts and airports. The mandated display of these codes is expected to align with the rollout of our tourism regulations in 2025.

FROM THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

 

Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands, 27th March 2024– The Department of Behavioral Health Services is appealing to the general public to refrain from recording and circulating videos of persons who may appear to be experiencing a mental health crisis. Anyone can experience a mental health crisis at some point in their life. According to the World Health Organization, 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem in any given year. Persons may struggle with very common conditions such as Anxiety and Depression or be diagnosed with more serious conditions like Bipolar Disorder or Psychosis.

“There are a lot of misunderstandings about various mental health conditions and how they may manifest. In addition, there are a number of negative perceptions and misconceptions that society exhibits towards people with mental health problems. However, just as we would show care and concern for someone diagnosed with Cancer, or any other physical illness, in the same way, we need to be as caring and helpful to persons with mental illnesses”– stated Director of the Department of Behavioral Health Services, Dr. Alicia Malcolm.

The Department is urging the public to call the following numbers if you see someone who appears to be experiencing a mental health crisis:

338-5473/338-3616: Providenciales, North or Middle Caicos

338-3614/338-3612: Grand Turk, South Caicos, Salt Cay

338-6301: Nights and Weekends

If someone is putting themselves or someone else in immediate, serious risk of harm, call 911.

Location of above services:

Breaking Ground: TCI Could Lead in Regional Communication Standards

Published

on

Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom, 27th March 2024: The PR, marketing, and communications sector is poised for potential growth and could lead the Caribbean region in terms of industry standards says Damian Wilson. Wilson’s suggestion comes after the release of a new research report into the current trends and future direction of the sector as a possible emerging industry in the Turks & Caicos Islands (TCI).

Wilson is the report’s author, which conveys the findings of research which he initiated. “One of the key research results is the considerable optimism by industry practitioners and government alike, with persons seeing growth potential. I believe that we can become regional leaders in this field. I believe that one of the initiatives that could be used to do this is by establishing a ‘TCI Centre of Communications Excellence’ within the TCI Community College. Such an institute would be dedicated to communication and media innovation with a particular focus on digital communications and ICT,” says Wilson.

He further explained, “I believe that the PR, marketing, and communications sector, like much of the country, is at a crossroads and could have an even greater impact on our socio-economic fabric. Some may have concerns about our small size, but I believe this makes us far more agile than our neighbours. All in all, any potential growth must be underpinned by new investments, professional development, and a strategy to integrate the sector into the broader economy.”

Wilson also said that he sees his research as a first step in understanding our own industry sectors in the TCI and would love to see more profound research and analysis conducted. He’s hoping that the report will spark discussion along those lines. The report is entitled ‘Current Trends and Future Direction: A Preliminary Report on the PR, Marketing, and Communications Sector in the Turks & Caicos Islands’. Anyone wanting a copy of the report can contact Damian Wilson via his email, damian.wilson.pr@gmail.com.
