Shopping Galore!
Good news, shoppers - on the Turks and Caicos, you pay no sales tax on regular purchases, and, in addition, many items are duty-free! The lack of mega-malls makes your shopping adventures even more fun, especially if you focus on supporting the local artists and craftspeople, as well as the local brewers of beer (Turks Head, a microbrew) and roasters of coffee. Just a few of the riches to be found by a savvy shopper include beautiful fanner grass and straw baskets, rag dolls and rum (The Spirit of the Turks and Caicos), as well as grits from Middle Caicos to cook up with peas when you get home. And you mustn't leave the islands without a piece of art. Your choice could include anything from island conch art to work influenced by Haitian primitive painting. One more thing: load up your iPod with music from Turks Islanders. Try Correy Forbes, Lovey Forbes and Tropical Impulse for a start. |
