Global Village ended Season 23 with more than AED 3 billion worth of business transactions and a record-breaking number of more than 7 million guests over 166 days.

It marked a jump of more than 16 per cent over the previous season. 

The multicultural Festival Park boasted of superior infrastructure - increased parking spaces, new flat crossovers replacing the bridges, expanded multi-use walkways, new green spaces and additional seating areas.

It hosted more than 3,500 outlets showcasing cultures of 78 countries, all catered to with a combined staff of more than 10,000 partners and employees from 95 nationalities.


 
“We are proud to deliver another superlative performance with Season 23. We continue to be the number one family, culture and entertainment destination in the UAE, and we are proud to be the reason for the smiles of more than 7 million guests who visited us. The happiness of our guests is our utmost priority and we are delighted to have scored 9.1 over 10 in our Guests Happiness Index, despite the 16 per cent increase in our guest numbers this season," said Bader Anwahi, CEO of Global Village.
