Turks and Caicos Premier Dr Rufus Ewing began an island-wide tour Monday, his first since being elected in November 2012.

The tour began on Grand Turk, and will end on Salt Cay next Monday.

The trip will include visits to key developments and government sites and will include several community meetings.

On Wednesday, Ewing will visit South Caicos, with a planned town hall meeting; the next day, he will tour Middle Caicos with a similarly planned town hall meeting.

On Friday, his trip will take him to North Caicos and Salt Cay.

Ewing’s People’s Democratic Movement took eight of 15 seats in the territory’s first elections since the United Kingdom suspended democratic rule following reports of widespread corruption.
