For the twelfth year the Turks and Caicos Islands Tourist Board welcomes premier Travel Wholesalers, Booking Companies and media from North America to its Annual TACC, Turks and Caicos Conference where some $300 million in vacation experiences are secured for these islands.

The opening shindig is hosted at the elite Amanyara Resort in North West, Providenciales tonight and launches three days of events designed to introduce or reintroduce the best of destination Turks and Caicos.

A well-known networking series for the TCI, TACC attracts groups from Expedia, Travel Impressions, Costco, Flight Center (Gogo), Island Destination and many others.

With site tours, conference session, cocktail parties, trade show and a jaunt into South Caicos planned for this year’s contingent, it is little wonder TACC, running June 7-10 is accepted as a major event on the TCI Tourist Board marketing calendar.

Add to the travel wholesalers, there is significant media coverage. The Huffington Post, Atlanta Journal, Diplomatic Magazine, Travel Agent Magazine, Resident Media Magazine, Elite Traveler Magazine and Cable News Network (CNN), will all have the opportunity to explore the TCI.

Stories of interest will include the rejuvenated North to Middle Caicos Causeway, plans for Provo International Airport expansion and luxury diving in South Caicos.

Tourist Board Director, Ralph Higgs spoke with our affiliate Deandrea Hamilton of magnetic media about the importance of TACC.

 

Next stop for TACC is South Caicos on Wednesday to tour Sail Rock and East Bay resorts with a return to Provo to check out the new Shore Club in Leeward.
