Experience Turks and Caicos Enhances Key Natural and Heritage Attractions Across the Turks and Caicos Islands

Providenciales, Turks and Caicos – Friday, 20 June 2025: Key natural and heritage sites across the Turks and Caicos Islands have been revitalised with new seating and signage, thanks to initiatives by Experience Turks and Caicos aimed at enhancing the visitor experience.

The Product Development Unit of Experience Turks and Caicos has spearheaded multiple projects to enhance these attractions, contributing to heritage conservation, improving site interpretation, and advancing the sustainable development of tourism products across the islands.

In North Caicos, upgrades to the Crossing Place Trail and Juniper Hole include shaded seating and interpretive signage. Similar efforts in Salt Cay have led to the development of the North Beach Trail, featuring a new welcome sign and visitor seating. In South Caicos, signage improvements have been made at the Boiling Hole.

Collaboration with the Turks and Caicos National Trust resulted in improved signage at notable heritage and natural sites, including the iconic Bambarra Beach, recently voted the Caribbean’s number one beach in the 2025 USA Today – 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards. Additional sites benefiting from this initiative include: Cottage Pond, Flamingo Pond, Crossing Place Trail & Juniper Hole, Haulover Plantation and Wades Green Plantation. Further efforts with the National Trust also saw the installation of signage at Bird Rock Point in Providenciales and additional signs at Little Water Cay.

“As a Destination Marketing and Management Organisation (DMMO), Experience Turks and Caicos is committed to both managing and promoting the islands’ tourism assets. These enhancements not only make key sites more attractive to visitors but also enrich their overall experience,” said Mr. Paul Pennicook, Interim CEO Consultant of Experience Turks and Caicos.

Mrs. Candesha Mills, Product Development Manager, said: “Through strategic partnerships and thoughtful design, we’ve showcased the unique heritage and natural assets of each island, from the trails of North Caicos to the historic sites of Salt Cay and South Caicos. These improvements ensure greater accessibility, engagement, and connection with the stories and beauty of the Turks and Caicos Islands.”

Mrs. Mills also expressed gratitude to her team: “A special thank you to Senior Product Development Officer Mr. Alverson Lewis for leading the collaboration with the Turks and Caicos National Trust, and to local representatives Ms. Helcyann Selver (North Caicos) and Mr. Chaim Manswell (South Caicos) for their dedication and leadership. Their contributions were instrumental to the successful delivery of these enhancements.”
