Safety Precautions To Be Followed
Last year, Global Village was to run until April 4, but the closure was advanced to 15 March due to the Covid pandemic. Visitors heading to Global Village were asked to wear a facemask to curb the spread of the virus. This year, the shopping fest will see a strict line up of rules to ensure safety of residents. The Global Village has received the Dubai Assured Stamp awarded by Dubai Municipality, Dubai Economy and Dubai Tourism.
“Our 25th anniversary is a great milestone for us and the teams are working hard to make this year very special. We also feel that this is an important message for the country and the region,” says Bader Anwahi, chief executive, Global Village.
From using state-of-the-art technology for routes within the village to contactless payment and virtual entertainment offerings, the team is doing their very best to ensure residents can have fun while following the Covid-19 rules.
