Areas of Investment Opportunities

Niche Tourism

While the main island of Providenciales is the most popular destination for visitors, TCI’s other islands offer excellent opportunities for smaller resort and niche tourism development:

Adventure Tourism

With some of the best dive sites in the world, including a 7,000 vertical wall a short distance off the shore at Grand Turk; visitors come from all parts of the world to experience the thrill of snorkeling and diving in crystal clear waters. The waters round the island also attract kite surfers, sailors and sports fishermen;

Eco Tourism

Many of our 40 islands are uninhabited and stunningly beautiful. Opportunities exist for the island’s first eco-lodges and resorts;

Marina Development

Some of the world’s most beautiful yachts, and the finest sport fishing vessels visit TCI. Providenciales has a number of marinas but other islands offer an excellent opportunity for resort/villa/condo development around a marina;

Medical Tourism

Where better to recuperate from surgery than the most beautiful islands and beaches in the world! TCI has two hospitals with space for private patients. Excellent opportunities exist for cosmetic and other surgical procedures.

Convention Centre Development

The islands are a perfect destination for conventions and company gatherings, but we currently do not have a large stand-alone or hotel-linked business venue to host large gatherings. Providenciales would be an excellent location to build the first.

Retirement Developments

Retirement estates are becoming an exceptionally lucrative prospect for investors and the Turks and Caicos offers a great luxury destination all year-round war climate and five star amenities.
