Tinapa Resort, Calabar
The multi-billion Naira Tinapa Business and Leisure
Resort located in Calabar, the Cross River State
Capital has started yielding results if the proceeds
coming from its Lake-side hotel can be replicated in
other units of the resort.
In May 2013 alone, the hotel generated ninety nine
million Naira (N99m), to the coffers of the resort
CrossRiverWatch can authoritatively report.
Governor Imoke recently revealed this during the
just concluded, Ministries, Departments and
Agencies, MDAs retreat held at the Tinapa resort
while justifying the conversion of the resort
warehouse to a make-shift conference hall in
ongoing efforts to “make the hotel work”.
He said “Do you know that in May 2013 alone, Lake
side Hotel in Tinapa here generated Ninety-Nine
(N99m) Million Naira?”
“That is why we are building the International
Convention Center on the other side to complement
Tinapa”.
The Lake side hotel has in recent times become a
choice accommodation for both corporate
organizations and private individuals who come for
conferencing and leisure in Calabar due to its
serene environment.
The hotel which was formally managed by Amber
from Zimbabwe was taken over by Lake Side hotels
and hospitality management sometimes in 2010.
The takeover by this new management caused the
managers of Tinapa resort led by its Managing
Director, Architect Bassey Ndem to convert the
hotel warehouse to a make shift conference hall
which has now turned the hotel to a choice
destination for both corporate organizations and
government agencies.
Tinapa is a business and leisure resort developed in
four phases under a Private Public Partnership (PPP)
promoted by the Government of Cross River State.
The resort is located by the Calabar River,
contiguous with the Calabar Free Trade Zone

Welcome to Calabar Blog : Tinapa Resort, Calabar Generates N99m in One Month: http://calabarzone..com/2013/07/tinapa-resort-calabar-generates-n99m-in.html

About time too!
But I ain't going there!
I prefer DUBAI!!!

I honestly pray that this Tinapa Resort finali starts to produce results commensurate to the vision of its founders...... By d way, some really Good news coming from Cross River lately

That's great!

99million naira, not including the payment without record in a month. Wish this can improve.

Tinapa as a concept is not bad.
Cross river is probably the most beautiful state in nigeria.
But you can trust nigerian leaders to get things upside down.
Development of things like tinapa should have been done in tandem with the growth of the local/national economy .
This is what I refer to as getting the idea of development upside down.
Cross rivers has the climate for large scale agriculture in crops like palm oil,rice,rubber etc.
If most of the money used in building tinapa had been used to develop agriculture in the state, cross river would be the richest state in nigeria by now
Then you can build tinapa because even without outsiders, the local economy would be strong enough to keep it going.
I pray that it breaks-even one one day.
