The Turks and Caicos Islands Tourist Board welcomed more than 20 top-producing wholesalers to the 7th annual Turks and Caicos Conference June 2-5 in Providenciales. The top-producing wholesalers are based in the United States and Canada, and they promote and sell the destination to travel agents and consumers. The annual four-day event provides a first-hand opportunity to receive an update on the destination, as well as opportunities to network with industry personnel. “The Tourist Board is thrilled that there is still such keen interest in our destination, and we are committed to continuing our work to ensure that the Turks and Caicos remains in the forefront of the minds of vacationers and wholesalers,” said Director of Tourism Ralph Higgs. “These are very important travel partners for the Tourist Board and the Turks and Caicos Islands, as wholesalers are directly or indirectly responsible for creating or selling packages to about 90 percent of all long stay visitors to our shores.” The wholesalers will participate in numerous property site inspections and special tours that have been arranged throughout the islands. One of the features of the event is the round-table session that will enable the wholesalers to ask industry leaders direct questions about the future of tourism in the TCI. “Wholesalers are a vital part of our strategy to increase the brand awareness of the Turks and Caicos,” said Pamela Ewing, Regional Marketing Manager for the Tourist Board and event organizer. “We are delighted that our destination continues to be a high priority for them and their clients.”
