Experience Turks and Caicos Set to Roll Out New Initiative to Promote Immersive Tourism  

Press Release

PROVIDENCIALES, TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS (June 13th, 2024) – Experience Turks and Caicos is set to roll out a new initiative designed to promote immersive tourism in the islands.

Titled ‘Exquisite Turks and Caicos’, this immersive tourism programme, conceptualised by the Strategic Development Unit, collaborates closely with industry partners to curate and deliver on niche product offerings and services to enhance our visitors’ overall experience.

Focused on adding significant value in education, culture, history, eco-friendliness, entertainment, engagement, and affordability, the programme has identified priority areas through which new or existing micro and small businesses can partner. The programme targets businesses that are land-based, water-based (excluding dive and charters), and involved in the promotion of the cultural arts, nature and wildlife, gastronomy, agriculture and heritage. The goal of Exquisite Turks and Caicos is to ensure that the traveller will walk away not only having an exquisite experience, but a learned one that will be treasured always.

“Immersive Tourism is about creating compelling and interactive visitor experiences through strategic partnerships with local vendors.  It goes beyond traditional sightseeing and offers travellers a deeper connection to the destination’s culture, history, and environment,” says Mr. Courtney Robinson, Strategic Development Manager.

“‘Exquisite Turks and Caicos’ is our commitment to our pillar of Inclusive Growth which ensures that everyone in the Turks and Caicos Islands benefit from the tourism industry through the enhancement of our offerings. It extends beyond the warm smiles, white sandy beaches or picturesque landscapes; it is a promise to curate and deliver on experiences that create memories, that resonate with the soul of every traveller,” he added.

Mr. Robinson will visit Grand Turk, North Caicos, Middle Caicos and South Caicos to meet with business owners about the programme.

Interested persons are encouraged to contact Mr. Robinson and book an appointment to learn more about the ‘Exquisite Turks and Caicos’ programme and what types of technical support that are offered. Mr. Robinson is attainable via email: crobinson@myexperiencetci.com or call + 1(649) 946 4970.
