The
Republic of the Philippines’ Department of Tourism, Middle East Representation
Office in Dubai, is collaborating with Global Village,
the region’s leading Cultural, Shopping and Entertainment family outdoor
destination. Within the framework of its current tourism promotion campaign
“It’s More Fun in the Philippines”, the office has chosen to showcase a number
of shows every Friday at Global Village’s World Culture Stage. In its third consecutive
week for the event which has kicked off on 8 February, the last of the one-hour
shows will be showcased next Friday, 1st of March 2013.
Being the first
large scale initiative, the Philippines Tourism Representation Office has
sought to promote the country’s tourism via featuring cultural shows at the
park which attract visitors from the region with diverse demographics. “Global
Village sets the ideal platform for such a culturally based initiative as it
attracts the right target audience for our tourism campaign of promoting the
Republic of the Philippines. Through our folk shows we try to convey our
country’s beauty with its breathtaking nature, seas and islands. We also avail
to tourists a number of sport and cultural activities for spending an ideal
holiday”, said Philippines Consul-General H.E. Frank Cimafranca, who was
attending the third cultural show at Global Village last Friday .
The recital, despite
the cliché of folk, hip hop and carnival replicas, blends in harmony to convey
the phases of evolution, growth and development of an archipelago comprising
more than seven thousand islands.
Saeed Ali Bin
Redha, Global Village CEO commented: “We welcome cultural initiatives at Global
Village as it falls within the park’s vision of bringing cultural diversity of nations
and civilizations together. We are pleased to portray new and diverse folk and
authentic cultures, and are proud to share a cultural platform for
collaboration with the Philippines’ Department of Tourism Representation -
Regional Office in Dubai.”
On the other hand,
Philippines Consul-General expressed his thanks for the park’s management
collaboration and for hosting the folk shows. “I was pleased to see people from
different parts of the world and the region gathered to watch our folk shows.
Many have gone to the assigned kiosk to ask for information about the
Philippines. I think we will consider collaborating with Global Village again
in the future either by having a bigger stronger representation through the
pavilion or featuring more folk shows”, added the consul-general.
The usual
cultural shows will continue at Global Village without change and according to
the daily entertainment schedule that can be obtained from the Information
Kiosks around the park.
