TC'S Energy Limited, USA and Sinohydro Corporation Limited also known as Power China International Group Limited have signed a US$11 billion agreement to develop the Digya National Park in the Bono Region into West Africa's biggest eco-resort.

The project will take 7 years to complete and has been divided into 2 phases with the first phase focusing solely on the infrastructure for the entire establishment.

CEO of TC's Energy Limited, USA, Anthony Opoku reiterated that the partnership manifests the capacity, knowledge and technical know how that each company possesses.

It would also fulfill a dream that began 5 years ago by the forestry commission in its effort to move from dependency on timber resources while pursuing the development of responsible, nature-based tourism.

When completed by 2027, the Green city would have facilities including railway lines, security settlements, suspended water walks facilities and cruising, forest walk trails, golf parks, African art craft villages, bird watching facilities, natural museum, eco-lodges and luxury hotels. The other attractions would be casinos, health SPAs, meditation enclaves, children's / amusement park, restaurant (local and international), theatre and conferencing facilities, movie zones, silhouettes (night clubs, discos, supermarkets).

The Director, Corporate Planning Monitoring and Evaluation- Forestry Commission, Mr Cudjoe Awudi noted that the partnership solidified every hope of turning Ghana's eco-tourism into a world class standard worth emulating in other countries.

Country representative of Sinohydro Ghana, Zhao Wenjun, pledged his company's support to ensure that it would meet the anticipated expectations of the project.

Key witnesses at the signing ceremony included the 3rd Vice Chairman of the NPP Michael Kwesi Omari- Wadie, Board members of TC's Energy USA, Sir Charles Adjei and Ms. Ophelia Opoku- Ansah among others.
