Global Village in Dubai, a member of Tatweer and the culture and entertainment destination for families, will be open to visitors from November 12 this year to February 21, 2009. Registration for space, rentals for kiosks, restaurants and pavilions has begun in response to an increased requirement for premium space. The event is being organised by the Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM), Government of Dubai.

Global village which has evolved into a premier regional family entertainment festival will showcase a diverse array of the world’s cultures. In 2007-2008, Global Village registered footfalls of 4.5 million through the participation of 30 pavilions, kiosks and service areas and 32 restaurants. 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.
