Did You Know?
The islands were part of the UK's Jamaican colony until
1962, when they assumed the status of a separate crown
colony upon Jamaica's independence. The governor of The
Bahamas oversaw affairs from 1965 to 1973. With Bahamian
independence, the islands received a separate governor
in 1973. Although independence was agreed upon for 1982,
the policy was reversed and the islands are presently
a British overseas territory.
The Turks and Caicos economy is based on tourism, fishing,
and offshore financial services.

Turks & Caicos
The beautiful Turks and Caicos Islands are situated 575 miles southeast
of Miami and 39 miles south east of Mayaguana in the Bahamas. Covering
193 square miles of the Atlantic ocean, Turks and Caicos Islands
has one of the longest coral reefs in the world, making it a premier
diving destination. One of the most valuable possessions of the
islands are the white sandy beaches, which in total cover 230 miles
and are complimented with crystal clear waters. The islands are
relatively flat but depending on the island, the terrain can vary
from sand dunes to lush green vegetation. There are eight major
islands: Salt Cay, Grand Turk, South Caicos, East Caicos, Middle
Caicos, North Caicos, Providenciales and West Caicos. The people
on the islands are known for their friendliness. East Caicos and
West Caicos are uninhabited.
