Affordable Luxury Packages and Pristine Beaches Flourish with Visitors at
Providencialeʼs Resorts
TURKS AND CAICOS, BWI (September 22, 2008)–Turks & Caicos Islands, a
burgeoning luxury Caribbean destination featuring world-class beaches, remains a
desired location for lavish vacationers after Hurricane Ike has passed. The areas hit

outcome was more fortunate for Providenciale, the Turks and Caicos most popular
visited island withstood the storm suffering minimal damage and is now fully

“We are very lucky to have come out of this storm with little damage to The Turks and
Caicos Islands prime tourist destination.” Says XXXX of the XXXX. “With an
