Grand Turk, TCI’s capital has experienced a great increase in activity since Carnival Cruise Lines recently made a long-term commitment to coming to the island.  Carnival created a port at the southwest side of the island and the cruise ships have been landing there since February 2006.   A large marketing push by the Turks and Caicos Tourist Board and Carnival Cruise Lines has increased TCI’s presence in the minds of potential travellers and investors, and has increased interest in the beauty and history of Grand Turk.  Century old buildings, old world charm, beautiful ambiance and world class beaches along with some of the best diving in the world make Grand Turk a perfect destination to visit and in which to invest.  New roads, a new airport terminal, and the refurbishing of Governor’s Beach increased Grand Turk’s potential to attract investors. There are many business opportunities on Grand Turk.  Population is approximately 5,000 residents.  Grand Turk has some of the best diving in the world and you will see stingrays, thousands of fish and humpback whales in season.
