Turks and Caicos Hurricane Recovery News

Update on the Turks and Caicos islands

Hurricane Irma passed through the Caribbean on September 5-7, 2017.  Jose and Maria followed shortly thereafter. The villas, hotels and restaurants on the island of Providentiales came through largely unscathed. As October 23,  2017, all sources confirm that Provo is by and large open for business (except where noted), and WIMCO will stop publishing weekly updates.
