The
Global Village continues
to grow as the event that
gives the Dubai Shopping
Festival its international
essence. With more than
2.3 million confirmed visitors
last year (source Gulf Marketing
Research), the Global Village
continues to be the "Focal
Point of the Dubai Shopping
Festival".
Through
the exhibition of traditional
art, handicrafts and national
products displayed in over
30 Pavilions representing
countries from the Middle
East, Africa, Asia, and
Europe, Al-Futtaim Investments
is looking to raise Global
Village 2003 to new heights.
In addition, with over 60
restaurants, our visitors
are presented with the opportunity
to taste the many traditional
dishes and delicacies from
around the world. As always
the giant Fun Fair will
offer thrills and excitement
for all the family, further
promoting our event as a
complete 'enjoyment' venue.
As part of our commitment
to Global Village 2003,
Al-Futtaim Investments has
introduced a more 'permanent'
feel to the site. Landscaped
areas with trees, plants
and even more seating, will
present a more pleasing
and relaxed atmosphere allowing
visitors an opportunity
to unwind during their stay.
Additionally,
Al-Futtaim Investments has
created a unique stage area,
where entertainers and acts
from the various pavilions
will be able to promote
their country's culture
through music and traditional
scenes.
Above
all, the overall plan of
the site has been further
improved, taking into account
the increased flow of visitors
throughout the Global Village
while promoting a visually
stimulating environment.
Global
Village 2003 will continue
to promote Dubai as a leading
family entertainment centre
within the Middle East and
beyond.
