Global Village, a family and entertainment park in Dubai, has attracted over 1 million visitors within one month of its opening in its 19th season, said a press statement.

Opening on November 6, Global Village has witnessed good response to its new entertainment offerings, investment in new infrastructure and introduction of its new mascot Globo.

Global Village Chief Operating Officer Ahmed Hussain said: "It is clear that the enhancements we have made in Global Village infrastructure this season is already having a hugely positive impact with one million visitors already visiting the Park.

"It has been our most successful opening month to-date and shows that the attraction of Global Village for families is as strong as ever. This season we are bigger and better than ever before and have added a further 330,000 square feet to the existing 2.7 million sq ft of space at Global Village - allowing us to introduce new landscape areas, a purpose built stage and to move the Fantasy Island funfair attraction to a new area,” he said.

Ahmad Al Marri, Global Village Director of Operations, said: "Food remains a huge attraction for the park and this year we have created a separate dining area which houses 23 restaurants offering international cuisines.”

For this season there are now a total of nearly 50 rides and games at the enlarged Fantasy Island attractions. The new attractions at Global Village - Al Remal Pit, Prehistoric Oceanarium, Animal Land and Illumination World are proving popular by visiting families.

Ahmed Hussain, COO of Global Village, said: "We are catering to a very global audience. Global Village has also witnessed increases in Russian and Chinese visitors and is working closely with DTCM and local tour operators to boost the number of international tourists to Global Village."
