The Turks and Caicos Islands is the hottest Caribbean travel destination this fall, according to new data from TripAdvisor. 

The Caribbean hotspot is the top overall trending destination for the fall worldwide, according to the travel giant. 

That means Turks and Caicos has seen the fastest growing demand based on year over year growth compared to the fall of 2021. 

That is a strong sign, given the destination’s already-outstanding performance last year at this time. 

Turks and Caicos beat out global destinations including Ho Chi Min City, Singapore, London and Bangkok, among others. 

Turks and Caicos was the only Caribbean destination to make the top 15 worldwide, according to Tripadvisor. 

The report was based on behavioral data from the company’s digital platform and a consumer sentiment survey taken this summer.
