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.
