Global Village sets new record for visitors

Global Village welcomed more than 9 million guests during Season 27, its highest ever visitor numbers.

The leading multicultural family destination saw more than 90 cultures represented across 27 pavilions as well as 40,000 performances by 400 artists from over 40 different nationalities.

Guests were also able to experience over 175 rides and attractions, shop and dine at over 3,250 outlets and enjoy 77 unique fireworks displays.

The 27th season ran from October 25, 2022 to April 30, 2023.

"This new record achieved over 188 days firmly positions Global Village as not only the region’s number one entertainment attraction but also one of the world’s most popular entertainment destinations," said Fernando Eiroa, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Holding Entertainment.

"As we continue to play our role in contributing to Dubai’s position as a global hub for entertainment and tourism, we look forward to what’s ahead and extend thanks to our invaluable partners and the Global Village team whose contributions have helped make Season 27 our most successful ever," he added.

Global Village will soon be returning for Season 28, with a host of new experiences, enhancements and retail offerings.

The opening date for the new season will be announced later this year.
