Narrative:

We were cleared to take the active runway and back taxi and hold for takeoff clearance on runway 28 at providenciales island (mbpv). My first officer read back the clearance to the controller on 126.0. All operators at the airport were being performed on 126.0 (provo approach). 1/2 way through the back-taxi I noticed a beech 1900 or sky king that looked like he was on left base for runway 28. I mentioned this to my first officer. About that time provo approach asked our position. We told him we were back-taxiing for takeoff position. (I realize now that approach control is not located in the tower at the airport. I also realize that because he asked without any prompt from us or sky king that he knew that he had forgotten that they were on a visual approach when we cleared us for back-taxi). Remotely located approach radio should not run all airport operations. We were told to return to the ramp and sky king was told to perform a 360 degree turn before continuing approach. Supplemental information from acn 694294: he immediately asked a 'sky king XXX' what his position was. He replied '3 mi final runway 28.' he was told to make a right 360 degree turn and rejoin final. We were instructed to make a 180 degree turn and exit runway 28 at bravo. We saw the traffic and complied.

ALL OPERATORS AT THE ARPT WERE BEING PERFORMED ON 126.0 (PROVO APCH). 1/2 WAY THROUGH THE BACK-TAXI I NOTICED A BEECH 1900 OR SKY KING THAT LOOKED LIKE HE WAS ON L BASE FOR RWY 28. I MENTIONED THIS TO MY FO. ABOUT THAT TIME PROVO APCH ASKED OUR POS. WE TOLD HIM WE WERE BACK-TAXIING FOR TKOF POS. (I REALIZE NOW THAT APCH CTL IS NOT LOCATED IN THE TWR AT THE ARPT. I ALSO REALIZE THAT BECAUSE HE ASKED WITHOUT ANY PROMPT FROM US OR SKY KING THAT HE KNEW THAT HE HAD FORGOTTEN THAT THEY WERE ON A VISUAL APCH WHEN WE CLRED US FOR BACK-TAXI). REMOTELY LOCATED APCH RADIO SHOULD NOT RUN ALL ARPT OPS. WE WERE TOLD TO RETURN TO THE RAMP AND SKY KING WAS TOLD TO PERFORM A 360 DEG TURN BEFORE CONTINUING APCH. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 694294: HE IMMEDIATELY ASKED A 'SKY KING XXX' WHAT HIS POS WAS. HE REPLIED '3 MI FINAL RWY 28.' HE WAS TOLD TO MAKE A R 360 DEG TURN AND REJOIN FINAL.
