Turks and Caicos? Canadian Ties?

According to an article on NationalPost.com, Sir Robert Borden, the prime minister, was the first to broach the idea of a link between Canada and the sunny Turks and Caicos, the 40-island archipelago southeast of the Bahamas. Ralph Higgs, director of the TCI tourism board, was a member of a delegation that travelled to Ottawa in 1987 to discuss the possibility of Turks and Caicos becoming the 11th province of Canada. The Mulroney government nixed the idea. Providenciales, or Provo, wasn’t really populated 20 years ago, only three resorts on Grace Bay Beach. Today, Grace Bay gets rave reviews and it’s also home to the famous Seven Stars Resort. Tourism statistics, according to the article, show that between 2008 and 2009, there was an increase of 20% in Canadians visits. With Americans, the increase was 4.4%. Grace Bay Beach attracts lots of celebrities too, including Shaquille Oneal.

Book your vacation to Grace Bay Beach in Providenciales and head to the most comfortable and luxurious resort, Seven Stars Grace Bay Beach. You’ll benefit not only from splendid ocean views, but also from delicious food, unparalleled service, a relaxing spa and the chance to make memories to last a lifetime.
