The Free Trade Zone
Tayrona – Zona Franca Tayrona (ZFT) – is the strategic ally for
sustainable
businesses in the Colombian Caribbean, promoting global initiatives that
operate in a declared territory with privileges and special rules that
offer
customs, tributary, logistical, commercial, and exchange benefits, among
others. Located just 12 km from the port of the city, and 5 km form the
Americas Free Trade Zone, ZFT has 100 hectares for its development,
serving as
a bridge to foreign trade, an activity that undoubtedly boosts the
economy of
our country. Likewise, the object of the company extends to other
sectors, such
as the commercialization of warehouses, lots, construction and design of
projects.
We currently
operate as one of the most important Free Trade Zones in the region.
Our
investment exceeds $37 billion Colombian pesos ($11.7 million US
dollars),
allowing us to advance rapidly with large projects, generating more
than 2,900
direct and indirect jobs. We currently have 20 users from different
sectors who
perform foreign trade operations that benefit from the free trade
regime.
In order to create
strategic synergies that strengthen the city and the region, we have
joined the
Daabon Group, who is the main integrator of the logistics chain and
business
development from Santa Marta to the world. With this integration,
ZFT expands
its portfolio of services, with the aim of achieving the
satisfaction of the
needs of the clients in the same way it achieves the realization of
beneficial
projects for the growth of a coastal city with commercial potential,
such as
the Pearl of America. This marks a competitive advantage in the
industrial
sector in relation to other cities in the country, through the
innovation of our
services.
Thanks to the
benefits of this strategic alliance, Santa Marta will certainly
become an
important logistics epicenter of the Caribbean, promoting
multi-modalism,
foreign trade, generation of clusters in the logistics, food,
metal-mechanic,
automotive and health sectors. These investments will help to pave
the way to
maximize the development of the region, strengthening our
connections with the
world. For more information visit our
