Turks and Caicos Responds to US Travel Advisory 

Turks and Caicos has responded to the US Government’s recent travel advisory for the destination. 

In a statement, Experience Turks and Caicos said it was “committed to ensuring that every visitor enjoys a safe, secure and seamless vacation in our ‘Beautiful by Nature’ destination.” 

“While the advisory has not changed in its overall assessment, it reinforces the importance of our strict firearm regulations, which are in place to protect both residents and visitors,” Tourism Minister Zhavago Jolly said. 

The advisory pointed specifically to incidents where travelers had been bringing bullets or ammunition by mistake in their luggage.

“Singe bullets brought by mistake in carry-on bags or luggage, are illegal,” the advisory cautioned.

“We continue to work closely with law enforcement, tourism stakeholders, and international partners to maintain our reputation as a safe, world-class destination. We encourage all visitors to stay informed, exercise basic travel precautions, and carefully check their luggage to avoid any inadvertent issues. Our goal is for every traveller to fully enjoy their time here, knowing that Turks and Caicos remains one of the safest and most desirable vacation spots in the Caribbean.”
