Memories of Tinapa are that of sunburns at the moment but the drawing power of good food and shopping for fabrics is irresistible! So on this fine day Jenni and I joined Kish and Juan Pablo in their Tinapa offices, headquarters of the Management Information Systems project they are looking after.
Tinapa is a free trade zone and a major investment for Cross River State … it includes emporiums (large shopping complexes), movie theatres, a hotel, a casino, many more shops, a water park and the Nollywood movie studio. Unfortunately at the moment not much if it is under operation, only the water park, hotel, and 4 shops seem to be running. The ‘build it and they will come’ approach seems to fall short of expectations and business tourists are yet to invade the place. Nevertheless it is a flagship project, has great facilities and great potential.
Now on to the best part of the day … lunch at the Amber Sun hotel! Alright I’ll tell you what was on the menu but please understand this was a reward and not our every day meal :) Mushroom cream soup, grilled prawns and chocolate mousse. Yummy.
