Turks and Caicos, a Caribbean travel destination that only a few travelers go to, is packed with attractions of all kind and Canadian sunbathers know it too well. Rosemary Wilson, of the Turks & Caicos Tourism Office in Toronto, was very active last week promoting the islands´ allures at the Travel & Leisure Show that ended last Sunday.

Mrs. Wilson told Caribbean News Digital that Turks and Caicos is a sought-after spot among Canadian trippers. Even back in the 1970s and 80s, word had it the islands were going to be annexed to Canada. "This rumor brought scores of visitors and investors from that country," she says.
