TC Invest hits investment roadshow

INVEST Turks and Caicos (Invest TCI) is preparing to attend a string of foreign investment events next month.

The body will be visiting regional conferences, summits and roadshows throughout May to promote the TCI as a destination for foreign investment.

Representatives of the Invest TCI team will join regional investment agencies, Caribbean government officials and industry leaders at three major events starting with the Caribbean Hotel and Resort Investment Summit in Miami on May 10.

Immediately following that event they will attend the Caribbean Investment Summit, also in Miami, on May 12 followed later in the month by the third annual Premier’s Roadshow which sees networking events take place across the United States.

Invest TCI CEO John Rutherford said: "These events provide the first opportunity for Invest TCI to actively promote investment opportunities in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

"We cannot wait for investors to come to us, given the competition from other Caribbean countries to attract investment, and the team is very excited to take part in these high profile events and start ‘selling’ the great product that is Turks and Caicos, particularly in the areas of tourism and hospitality.

"The initiatives in May are part of a programme of visits to industry events and target markets that we will undertake over the year and we are confident we will be successful in encouraging international investors and developers to visit and take a serious look at Turks and Caicos as a potential location for their business.”

Invest Turks and Caicos is the Islands’ investment promotion agency, responsible for enhancing the economy through the attraction, growth and retention of overseas investment, and supporting the growth of local businesses.
