Turks and Caicos report 4% increase in hotel occupancy
Friday, May 21, 2004
TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS: The Turks and
Caicos Hotel and Tourism Association (TCHTA) has released preliminary figures
showing a 4% increase in occupancy rates in the first quarter of 2004. The
growth in occupancy is being attributed primarily to the significant
enhancements in airlift that has continued to ease access to the destination
and increased awareness of the Turks and Caicos Islands.
TCHTA Board Director and Managing Director of Ocean Club Resorts, Tom Lewis
comments “We are delighted to have seen such an upturn in figures from TCHTA
members. At Ocean Club Resorts, we have realized a positive increase in our
winter business and look forward to the trend continuing throughout this
summer.”
Association Director Caesar Campbell adds
“The Turks and Caicos Islands has managed to encourage airlift to the
destination on an unprecedented scale over the last few years. The investment
the airlines and Government has made, along with hoteliers is giving us all a
good return. We will continue to work with our tourism partners, the Tourist
Board and Government to build on the success of this first quarter.”
The Turks and Caicos Islands enjoys regular, non-stop flights from Miami, New
York, Boston, Charlotte, Philadelphia, Toronto and London supplied by American
Airlines, US Airways, Air Canada and British Airways.
