Trinidad Business Park

Overview

Trinidad Business Park is a commercial development area in Barangay Guinobatan, Trinidad municipality, central-northern Bohol. It functions as a commercial hub for the municipality, anchored by the AH Shoppers Mart (opened July 2023), and includes a covered court that serves as the main venue for large-scale community events.

The park hosts the Karomata Festival and the Trinidad Town Anniversary celebrations — the covered court gives the municipality infrastructure for events that would otherwise require an open-air setting.

Future development plans include a bus terminal, water park, IT Hub, and Ipil Park — indicating the site is an active municipal investment project rather than a completed facility.

Location

Lipata, Barangay Guinobatan, Trinidad, Bohol. Trinidad is in the central-northern part of the island, approximately 65–70 km from Tagbilaran City by road and roughly 25 km from Talibon, the main northern transport gateway (per the same LGU source used for the co-located AH Shoppers Mart entity).

Getting There

• From Talibon, a jeepney or habal-habal to Trinidad takes approximately 45 minutes
• The business park is in Barangay Guinobatan — [FACT NEEDED: whether it is within walking distance of Trinidad town center or requires a separate tricycle ride]

What to Expect

The park is primarily a functional commercial and events space rather than a scenic attraction. Its value to visitors is convenience — concentrated retail, a venue for major local events, and the anchor for Trinidad’s developing commercial district.

The Karomata Festival, held at the covered court, is the main event that draws outside visitors to the park. The Trinidad Town Anniversary adds another annual event to the venue calendar.

For visitors passing through Trinidad en route to Batongay Tourism Complex, DC Vicana Nature Park, or Kawasan Falls (all in the same municipality), the business park area near the Trinidad Food Hub is the logical stop for provisions or a meal.

Notes

• Trinidad municipality has several nature attractions (Batongay Tourism Complex, DC Vicana Nature Park, Kawasan Falls) — the business park is the commercial counterpart to these sites
• AH Shoppers Mart opened July 2023 — the most recent commercial development noted in the source
• The inclusion of a Business Center in the BPTO tourist-attraction inventory reflects the province’s recognition of emerging commercial infrastructure as part of the broader tourism offer in inland Bohol municipalities
• Karomata Festival date: Trinidad’s town fiesta honours patron saint San Isidro Labrador, and a 2024 Trinidad LGU Facebook video is titled “Karomata Street Dancing and Ritual Competition May 15, 2024, Trinidad Business Par[k],” indicating May 15 as the festival’s date (coinciding with the traditional Philippine feast day of San Isidro Labrador). This is corroborated by the LGU’s own “Happy Fiesta Trinidad! Viva Sr. San Isidro Labrador!” town-anniversary page, though a single explicit “the date is fixed every year” statement was not found.
