The next-generation ‘GV Pay’ e-wallet also gives guests the option of contactless and cashless payment across the destination, ensuring smooth and seamless business operations.

Global Village also provides a plethora of promotional opportunities. Over and above the traditional digital platforms, Season 25 partners were invited to get involved in the successful achievement of 25 Guinness World Records™ giving them great PR exposure. A fashion shoot with Zahrat al Khaleej – the highly acclaimed Arabic luxury fashion magazine showcased products from different pavilions and significantly boosted both reputation and sales for many fashion and accessories artisans and boutiques across the park. In Season 26, the teams are planning creative new activations which will form part of the park’s continued efforts to support the UAE business ecosystem and help entrepreneurs attain the business success they deserve.
