Tinapa Business Resort Limited

Tinapa is set to become a world-class integrated business resort. Located on the calabar river, and contiguous to the calabar free trade zone (calabar ftz), tinapa is the realisation of an exciting dream - the first integrated business and leisure resort in Nigeria.

The vision for tinapa is bold, exciting and insightful, highlighting the determination of cross river state government, under a public private partnership, to deliver a project that will ensure high economic growth and prosperity for the people of cross river state, and Nigeria at large. The vision builds on the principle that the creation of a trade hub will attract investors, traders and business travellers and subsequently domestic, regional and international leisure tourists. The mix of components brought together in the phased development of the project creates an ideal environment for trade and business tourism to flourish and lays the foundation on which to build a successful leisure tourism industry

Calabar, with its natural potential for tourism, through the unique vision of tinapa, will transform itself into a global trading hub reminiscent of great international free zones like Hong kong and Dubai.

The complex will provide international standard wholesale emporiums, integrated shopping complexes and product distribution elements supported by business tourism and entertainment facilities. The location of these, in close proximity to a free port on the east-west trading routes, provides exciting opportunities for tinapa to serve as:

The distribution point into Nigeria and the growing economic hub of west Africa

The ultimate centre for retail and wholesale commercial activities with the ecowas sub-region taking advantage of the international agreement on free movement.
