Turks and Caicos Is Projecting a Big Winter Travel Season
Turks and Caicos Islands is gearing up for a blockbuster winter season, with strong stayover arrival growth expected to carry through the first quarter of 2026.
Tourism officials are projecting steady month-over-month increases beginning this November, when arrivals are expected to climb 5 percent year over year. The pace is set to accelerate in the heart of peak season, with a projected 16 percent year-over-year jump in January — the largest winter spike of the season.
Double-digit increases are also forecast through the remaining winter months, continuing into April 2026. It’s a surge that underscores the destination’s sustained momentum as one of the Caribbean’s most sought-after luxury getaways.
The growth comes amid strong airlift from key markets in the United States and Canada, along with an expanding portfolio of upscale resorts and villas that cater to high-spend travelers. It also follows a record-breaking year for Turks and Caicos, which saw visitor arrivals soar as demand for warm-weather escapes remained high.
With turquoise waters, world-famous beaches and a reputation for exceptional hospitality, Turks and Caicos is positioned for one of its most robust winter seasons in recent memory.
How to Get There: Turks and Caicos is served by nonstop flights from major U.S. gateways including New York, Miami, Charlotte, Atlanta and Dallas, along with seasonal service from Toronto and London.
