"We are pleased to be associated with the DSF as it gives us the perfect opportunity to showcase Dubailand - this exceptional entertainment project to regional and international visitors who are expected to visit Dubai during DSF. We also wish to re-emphasise the exceptional features of Dubailand to UAE residents, said Salem bin Dasmal, CEO of Dubailand.
Added Bin Dasmal, "As the Global Village is now a part of Dubailand, the management plans to continue the activities of the Global Village for eight months every year starting at 2006. The plan is to construct permanent buildings and stalls over the next couple of years. Infrastructure at Global Village will be improved to suit this transformation in its scope of activities including buildings, restaurants, stalls, and games."
Dubailand will also host 'Aga - Boom', the critically acclaimed sell-out Broadway comedy in modern theatre at the Global Village during DSF in a theatre designed especially for the show. The show will be held from January 20-24, 2005.
The Dubailand Chief Executive pointed out that Dubailand is the region's - if not the world's - single largest and most comprehensive tourism, leisure, entertainment and lifestyle complex rivaling the likes of Orlando in the USA. Dubailand is also one of the star projects under the Dubai Holding Group. "Since Dubailand was announced by HH General Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and UAE Defence Minister in October 2003, we have managed to confirm 13 iconic projects that will bring in an investment of about Dh 15 billion by the end of this year. This is a very substantial achievement indeed," bin Dasmal said.
The Dubai Shopping Festival which is in its 10th year, will run for over 32 days, starting from January 12 till February 12, 2005. One of the main attractions of the Dubai Shopping Festival, the Global Village at its new location within Dubailand will continue till after the Dubai Shopping Festival, to entertain visitors for a total of 79 days.
