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.
