#TurksandCaicos, December 21, 2017 – Providenciales – It was a banner year for the Turks and Caicos despite the hard hits during the 2017 Atlantic Hurricane Season, not only did the country get World’s Best Beach with Grace Bay; Caribbean’s Best Airline with interCaribbean Airways, a Global Leadership Award presented to Premier Sharlene Robinson but the Turks and Caicos National Trust is also a winner.
The Heritage Protection Award came from the Caribbean Tourism Organization and was presented to the Trust during the Climate Smart Sustainable Tourism Forum at the Ocean Terrace Inn, St. Kitts & Nevis on Wednesday, 13th December. The TCNT received the highest award for Heritage Protection for making significant contributions to protect and promote the heritage of the TCI because of its work to pass on cultural and intangible heritage traditions and skills to younger generations; documentation and copyrighting of local heritage related materials; education of visitors on local heritage and local stakeholders; sustainable financing of local heritage conservation; engagement of local communities, public, NGO and/or private sector entities in preserving and promoting local heritage and for communicating actions to local stakeholders, including the media. The Trust calls this a great achievement as it in 2017 marks 25 years of its establishment in the Turks and Caicos Islands.
