Global Village has announced their health and safety measures for Season 25. Customer safety and comfort have always been of utmost importance for Global Village and this year is no different. Through close consultation and alignment with leading international and local authorities, Global Village is confident of a successful Season 25 ahead operating under “new normal” standards starting October 25, with enhanced hygiene and protection measures in place throughout. Ali AlSuwaidi, Chief Operating Officer, Global Village, said, “We became the first theme park in the world to win the “Sword of Honour” accreditation for safety management excellence from the British Safety Council and continue to work to standards developed alongside international bodies such as the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA). At Global Village, the comfort and wellbeing of our guests drives our operational decisions. We are pleased with our preparations for 25th October as they near completion and we look forward to welcoming our guests for our Silver Jubilee season.” With customer experience at the core of Global Village’s continued success, senior leadership are looking at the enhanced measures as an opportunity to improve guest experience at all touchpoints in a lasting way. A brand new website and mobile application are planned for an October 25th launch to ensure guests can quickly and easily purchase tickets, pay for parking and top-up the Wonder Pass for contactless entry to Carnaval Rides and other attractions and shows. Smart vending machines are now an easy way to collect Wonder Passes purchased online. In addition Global Village will soon be announcing a bespoke cashless payment solution for purchases across all retail, food and beverage outlets.

Global Village announced the opening date for Season 25 as Sunday October 25, 2020. This Silver Jubilee Season promises to be a season like no other. In addition to the much-loved dining, shopping, entertainment and attractions on offer, including the ever-popular Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! museum attraction, Global Village promises enhancements in guest experience and some surprises that will unfold as part of the Silver Jubilee celebrations. Bader Anwahi, Chief Executive Officer, Global Village, said, “We feel that this is an important message for the country and the region. Over the years we have become a mainstay for family entertainment across the region, and we are proud to be able to play an important role in driving the ‘open for business’ message.” “Business excellence is at the core of our business” continued Anwahi “We are setting the standard in many areas including health and safety. Our team is working tirelessly to ensure that our guests return to Global Village with confidence. Whether it’s by using state of the art technology for wayfinding and contactless payment or by adapting our entertainment offerings, we are breaking new ground across all our verticals for the comfort and happiness of our guests.” The season will run for 25 weeks this year, which means Global Village visitors will, for the first time in many years, be able to experience Ramadan at the park. This provides a great opportunity for people to enjoy the many cuisines of the world for Iftar and take full advantage of Ramadan shopping. Families will also be delighted to learn that opening hours on Saturday have changed to give younger children plenty of time to enjoy the park before bedtime. …
