The announcement follows the enormous success of Season 29, which drew a record-breaking 10.5 million visitors, setting a new standard for regional tourism and public engagement. Now, as it prepares to celebrate three decades of operations, Global Village is positioning Season 30 as its most exciting chapter yet.

30 years of global experiences in one destination

For the past 30 years, Global Village has served as a dynamic crossroads of cultures, offering guests an unparalleled mix of international cuisines, cultural performances, artisanal crafts, and global retail experiences. With each passing season, the destination has expanded in both scale and scope, gaining prominence as a key player in Dubai’s tourism and entertainment economy.

According to a Dubai Media Office report, Season 30 is expected to raise the bar even higher, promising new attractions, enhanced guest experiences, and a vibrant calendar of global showcases. Visitors of all ages can look forward to a spectacular mix of entertainment, immersive shopping, and a culinary journey that spans continents.

Retail and Guest Service proposals now open

Back in June 2025, Global Village invited entrepreneurs, retailers, and service providers to submit proposals for participation in Season 30 under the Retail Shops and Guest Services categories. The call to action comes as part of the park’s initiative to empower small and medium businesses through exposure to millions of potential customers.

“This is a unique opportunity to grow a business in one of the region’s most visited destinations,” noted a Global Village media report, which highlighted the infrastructure and operational support provided to business partners.
