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.
