The Turks and Caicos Islands Tourist Board is pleased to release the preliminary figures, showing that the destination has seen a major increase in visitor arrivals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe tourism industry is poised for a full recovery,\u201d declared Mary Lightbourne, Director of Tourism (Actg), Turks and Caicos Tourist Board. She stated that the first quarter of 2022 has been particularly strong, year on year, in context to the destination revitalising from the decline dealt to the sector by the COVID-19 pandemic over the last two years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are indeed buoyed by these figures, in particular the month of March, which is critical to our sector,\u201d said Miss Lightbourne. \u201cThe first quarter, especially March, is traditionally excellent for winter vacationers, have seen a robust in visitor arrivals, almost paralleling the corresponding month in 2019, which saw the best pre-COVID arrivals for the sector.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Air Arrivals<\/em><\/strong><br \/>The figures, as a close approximation in the measurement of the destination\u2019s tourist arrivals during the beginning of the year 2022, the Turks and Caicos Islands saw an average increase of approximately 33% in stopover arrivals through the Providenciales International Airport and FBOs, growing from the 34,057 stopover arrivals in January 2022 to 44,596 stopover arrivals in February 2022, and 60,109 in March 2022.<\/p>\n<p>The 44,596 stopovers received in February this year was a significant increase of 248% year over year. As the destination received only 12,798 stopover arrivals in February 2021; a direct result of the Covid-19 pandemic and the measures put in place to contain its diffusion.<\/p>\n<p>When compared to February 2020 and 2019; both periods being pre Covid-19 pandemic. Arrivals declined by 14% and increased by 7% respectively. \u00a0The 138,762 stopovers received in the first three months of 2022 were 98% of the 140,791 stopovers received in the first three months of 2019. The U.S. market continues to dominate as the main source market claiming the majority of total visitor arrivals, January through March 2022.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Cruise Arrivals<\/em><\/strong><br \/>In December 2021, when the Turks and Caicos reopened its cruise sector, saw total of 25,573 arrivals during that month. Which was 21% of the 117,827 arrivals seen in 2019. The Turks and Caicos Islands then received 173,151 cruise visitors in the first three months of 2022, which was 62% of the 277,280 cruise arrivals received in the same three months of 2019. January welcomed 27 ships with 43,035 cruise visitors, whereas February received 24 ships and 50,148 cruise visitors, with March welcoming 28 ships and 79,968 cruise visitors.<\/p>\n<p>The US\u2019s Center for Disease Control and Prevention lifted its risk advisory for cruise ship travel in March 2022 \u2013 indicating that the public health measures in place on cruise ships are effective and will hopefully influence more cruise passengers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese arrival figures are indicative that the Turks and Caicos continue to be a sort after destination. We are indeed on pace to increase our arrivals in the coming weeks and months, welcoming all our guests to our <em>Beautiful by Nature<\/em> isles,\u201d added Miss Lightbourne.<\/p>\n<p><strong>END NOTE: <\/strong>The <a href=\"https:\/\/trendingsimple.com\/turks-caicos\/scuba-diving-snorkeling-and-whale-watching-in-turks-and-caicos\/\" title=\"Scuba Diving, Snorkeling and Whale watching in Turks and Caicos\">Turks and Caicos<\/a> Islands Tourist Board wishes to advise that these figures are preliminary and subject to change.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/turksandcaicostourism.com\/turks-caicoss-see-major-increase-in-visitor-arrivals\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos Islands (May 24th 2022) \u2013 As the tourism sector continues to rebound, the Turks and Caicos is once again breaking visitor arrival records, with some 138,762 air arrivals and 173,151 cruise arrivals in the first quarter of 2022.
