Signs, Signs every where??????


PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands: The appearance of large advertising hoardings on the Leeward Highway in the Turks and Caicos Islands is generating some controversy.

Advertisers such as real estate agent Jan Hull welcome them for the business exposure they can bring. “The response so far has been really positive, and I look forward to successfully marketing a whole range of properties across the Islands, bringing in investors who want only the best,” said Hull. However, some local residents are not so enthusiastic, with many expressing the sentiment that such large advertising billboards diminish the essential quality of the Turks and Caicos Islands and its “small town feel.” The comparison is inevitably drawn between such commercial influences imported from urban America and the official slogan of the Turks and Caicos Tourist Board: “Beautiful by Nature.”
