Currently, it employs 3,500 people, with construction progressing rapidly. By the dry season, the job slot will increase to 5,000, and multiply threefold when fully operational.
Tinapa is conceptualized to be a world-class integrated business resort. It is to be implemented under the Private Public Partnership (PPP). Located by Calabar River, and contiguous to the Calabar Free Trade Zone, it is the realization of an exciting dream - the first integrated business and leisure in resort in Nigeria.
Calabar, with her natural potential for tourism, through the unique vision of Tinapa, will be transformed 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 business tourism and entertainment facilities. The locations of these, in close proximity to Free Port on the east-west trading routes, provide exciting opportunities for Tinapa to serve as:
The distribution point into Nigeria as the growing economic hub of West Africa.
The ultimate center for retail and wholesale commercial activities with the ECOWAS sub-region taking advantage of the international agreement on free movement.
Already, the major shopping malls in the country have indicated interest to do business in the zone, which would be inaugurated by March next year by President Olusegun Obasanjo.
It has received official recognition as a business resort-free-zone company by the Nigeria Export Processing Zones Authority (NEPZA).
