“Destinations London is a great opportunity for the Turks and Caicos Tourist Board to not only exhibit, but also to further educate and inform travel professionals, media houses and travellers on the destination; that, along with creating new connections and business opportunities”, said Robinson. “The Turks and Caicos is the envy of the Caribbean and one of the World’s leading destinations. Therefore, it is imperative that we attend the best trade events, whereby positioning ourselves to better promote Brand Turks and Caicos and our niche product offerings.”

Over the four-day show, the Tourist Board stand saw tremendous footfall, whereby many travellers new and former Holidaymakers to the destination, were informed and updated on all things Turks and Caicos.

Robinson noted that during the course of the show he met with various tour operators, travel agents, concierge representatives, media producers and content creators. He stated that the demand for Turks and Caicos is overwhelming and with the announcement of the Virgin Airlines additional airlift, it gives travellers more ways to get to the Islands.
