The Turks & Caicos Islands are located 550 miles southeast of Miami Florida, and just east of Cuba. These islands can be reached by major airlines such as American, Delta, US Air, and British Airways.
Out of the 40 islands and cays that make up the Turks & Caicos Islands only 8 of them are currently inhabited, the most popular of which is Providenciales. The islands are home to roughly 30,000 full time residents, and welcome more than 200,000 tourists annually.
The most widely used language is English however; Spanish and French are becoming more widely used.
Currency - The US dollar is the official currency of Turks & Caicos. Most hotels, restaurants and taxi services accept traveler’s cheques, which can be cashed at local banks. Most credit cards, including Visa, MasterCard, and American Express are accepted island wide by businesses and banks.
Tipping is normally paid to waiters, taxi drivers, maids and porters at 15%.
