Just twenty years ago, the Turks and Caicos Islands were one of the quietest and least-known destinations in the West Indies. Today, on the back of classy development on Providenciales, and great beaches and diving on all of the islands, they have become one of the most fashionable places to visit in the region. As a result, a number of discount hotels in Turks & Caicos Islands have been established around the islands.
The country comprises of two groups of islands – eight inhabited and around forty uninhabited – separated by the Columbus Passage. To the east, the Turks Islands include Grand Turk and Salt Cay. To the west, the chain of Caicos Islands includes inhabited South, Middle and North Caicos – each with its own charms – and the fast-growing island of Providenciales, known as Provo and home to the great majority of the nation's tourist development. The major attractions and discount hotels on all of the Turks & Caicos’ islands are concentrated along their coasts: truly sensational white-sand beaches that stretch for miles, world-class diving, snorkeling and deep-sea fishing, and bone fishing.
