Global Village, a member of Tatweer, and the ever-popular leading culture and entertainment destination for families, on Saturday announced it will raise curtains for its new spectacular seasonal event from November 12 to February 21, 2009. 

Following the overwhelming success of the previous edition and high demand from visitors to extend the duration of the Global Village, the fun-filled premises will open its doors for an extra 21 welcoming families of all age groups from around the world, said a Global Village press release.

Registration for space rentals in kiosks, restaurants and pavilions has opened, in response to an increased requirement for premium space, it said.

Global Village constantly strives to cater to audience’s needs and expectations by providing a diverse mix of offerings and services.

As with each edition, this year too Global Village will aim to include innovative dimensions and offer limitless avenues of color, fun and entertainment. In addition, it will seek to enhance its contribution to the entertainment sector in the UAE on a wider scale, the release added.

Global Village has evolved as a premier regional family entertainment festival, showcasing a diverse array of the world’s cultures.

The Golab Village attributed much of the success of its unique concept to the participants who had consistently demonstrated their keenness to be a part of the high visibility initiative celebrating the diversity of cultures and communities.

In the 2007-08 season, Global Village registered a footfall of nearly 4.5 million through the participation of 30 pavilions, 120 kiosks and service areas, and 32 restaurants.

Validating the year on year success of Global Village, the residents of Dubai voted the family destination as the first runner-up for ‘The Best Visitor's Attraction in Dubai’ at The Best in Dubai Awards 2008 conducted by Time Out Dubai magazine, celebrating everything that people love about living in the city, the press release added.-TradeArabia News Service
