Live Feed! Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos, 8/2/2107

Live Feed! Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos, 8/2/2017.  What you see in the video below is the economy of the Turks and Caicos, mostly tourism and recreation.  The Turks and Caicos are a part of the British empire located southeast of the Bahamas and in the Atlantic Ocean.  They are run on the parliamentary systems and the islands are overseen by a British governor.

Conch farming is a big part of their economy and conch is a delicacy of the island as they are farmed from the crystal blue water.  While this looks like paradise, crime is very high, the homicide rate is 10 deaths /100,000 people. Crimes against tourists persist as there have been a rash of shootings, two Americans in the recent two months.  Despite that, the islands are a popular place to snorkel and scuba dive.
