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.
