World Trade Center Complex

Architecture - Baie-Mahault

Inaugurated in 1994 as the logistical heart of the International Trade Zone, the World Trade Center Complex is also the nerve center of the Euro Caribbean Activity Complex (CECA), which includes Pôle Caraïbes Airport, the Port of Pointe-à-Pitre, and manufacturing and trade zones. Managed by the Pointe à Pitre Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the World Trade Center offers 2,500 m2 of office space and 7,300 m2 of exhibition space, and is instrumental to the development of the International Trade Zone. The International Trade Zone occupies 38 hectares in the immediate vicinity of the Jarry terminal and includes a free warehouse area—which allows companies with offices here to store merchandise tax- and duty-free—an Industrial Park; 12 hectares for storing gas and petroleum products and producing energy; and the World Trade Center Complex.
