Turks and Caicos Islands Welcomes Spring Break 2025

The British Territory of the Turks and Caicos Islands in the Bahamas is just a quick 620-mile flight from the United States. It offers warm Caribbean waters and a safe vaccination.

The country's tourism authority, Experience Turks and Caicos, recently confirmed that about two million travelers visited the islands in 2024, setting a new record.

According to the U.S. Department of State's updated Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution for the Turks and Caicos Islands, the U.S. Embassy in Nassau provides consular services for U.S. citizens.

The U.S. Embassy consular personnel will visit Providenciales, Turks, and the Caicos Islands from March 5 to March 7, 2025, to provide routine U.S. passport and citizenship services.

On March 4, 2025, the State Department wrote that vacationers should avoid Providenciales, as that was where most of the crime occurred. Providenciales is the third largest island in the Turks and Caicos, home to most of the population.

Furthermore, the Provo area has resorts and hotels that line the island's beautiful coastline.

From a health-risk perspective, Turks and Caicos has avoided most mosquito-transmitted disease outbreaks except for Dengue. In 2024, 117 cases were reported.

The UK Travel Health Pro writes that a dengue vaccine is licensed in the UK to prevent dengue disease in individuals from 4 years of age. However, there are no certificate requirements under the International Health Regulations.

The U.S. CDC does suggest various travel and routine vaccinations before traveling to the islands. These vaccines are offered at travel clinics and pharmacies in the U.S.
