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.
