The Turks and Caicos could soon be in the news again for all the right reasons if according to bookmakers and travel experts the new Royal couple chooses the TCI as their honeymoon destination.
Odds compilers have TCI installed as second favorites behind Africa for Prince William and Kate Middleton to have their lavish honeymoon after they tie the knot on April 29th.
Adding fuel to the fire is a recent visit to the Islands by Robert Hannigan, who sits on the board of directors at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office specializing in defence and intelligence.
If William and Kate do spend the first days of their married life soaking up the TCI sun, it will be worth millions and millions of dollars to the country.
If the TCI fails to prove the destination of choice for William and Kate, the country will get a second chance to host a Royal honeymoon later this year.
Princess Anne’s daughter, Zara Phillips, marries England rugby captain, Mike Tindall, on July 30 and already speculation has started as to where they will be heading.
PDM leader, Doug Parnell, who successfully campaigned for the wedding day to be made a public holiday, wrote to the couple before Christmas inviting them to holiday in the Islands.
“It’s true that I sent an official invite to the couple inviting them to honeymoon here and obviously I hope they take up the invitation. But at this stage the destination is a closely guarded secret so we’ll just have to wait and see.”
