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.
Registration for space rentals in kiosks, restaurants and pavilions has opened, in response to an increased requirement for premium space.
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.
Global Village has evolved as a premier regional family entertainment festival, showcasing a diverse array of the world's cultures.
Much of the success of this unique concept is attributed to its participants who have consistently demonstrated their keenness to be a part of this high visibility initiative that celebrates 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.
