Global Village Positioned to become one of the Leading Tourist Destinations of Dubai

Dubai, 14 May, 2014: Global Village, Dubai’s leading family entertainment and cultural destination, has announced a partnership with Alpha Tours LLC to attract more international tourists to the region’s most popular outdoor attraction. 

The agreement is part of a concerted campaign to attract more tourists and broaden the international base of the millions of people who enjoy the event every year. The partnership will also see Alpha Tours promote Global Village through its overseas branches to promote Global Village internationally. 

The agreement with Alpha Tours, a leading destination management company in the UAE tourist sector, will ensure tourists to Dubai, and to Global Village, will be provided with special services to make their stay memorable. The special services will include designated bus parking for easy access to the park and its facilities, such as rides, games, dining, and shopping, throughout Global Village’s 19th Season which is set to begin on the 6th November, 2014.

The partnership with a specialist travel tour company will help Global Village to continue to grow and attracting more tourists as part of its commitment for Dubai’s vision to attract 20 million visitors a year to the country by 2020. 

Ahmad Hussein, COO of Global Village, said: “We are delighted to partner with Alpha Tours who manages more than 1 million visitors every year to UAE. The partnership with Alpha Tours is consistent with our strategy and commitment to encouraging more tourists to Dubai.  They are a leading tourism company in the region and have the means and ability to make tourists aware of the amazing experience they can have when visiting Global Village in Dubai.”

Samir Hamadeh, Alpha Tours General Manager, has said “Our choice to partner up with Global Village for this venture is due to the success of the park over the years, and especially over recent years, which has seen really great numbers of visitors going to Global Village. Five million visitors is a massive number of people to have visit during a season and we will be increasing this number by promoting Global Village locally, regionally, and internationally.”

With the expected tourism boost that Dubai is expected to experience during the lead up to Expo 2020, Global Village will continue to grow its reputation across the Middle East and internationally.
