DSF 2014 TO SPARKLE WITH OVER 150 ATTRACTIONS

The Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE), an agency of the Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM), has unveiled the calendar of events for the 19th edition of Dubai Shopping Festival, which will be held from Jan.2-Feb.2, 2014, setting the stage to highlighting Dubai as an international family tourism destination that offers unique shopping experiences.

The DSF 2014 calendar of events is a line-up of over 150 events and activities that will be spread far and wide across the city at key DSF destinations.

With the aim of ensuring that the whole of Dubai feels the Festival spirit, the organisers identified several key locations across Dubai and turned them into main DSF destinations.

Areas such as Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard, Al Seef Street, Al Rigga Street, and The Walk - Jumeirah Beach Residence will host events and activities aimed at ensuring that residents and visitors in all nooks and corner of the city are able to participate and experience the festivities.

This year's DSF calendar of events features attractions in diverse fields from shopping to entertainment, fashion to lifestyle, and arts and culture including international shows, concerts, shopping promotions, and mega raffles offering prizes worth millions of dirhams, that is a true manifestation of the festival theme "Shop at your Best” that is bound to make DSF 2014 the most memorable edition yet since the shopping and entertainment extravaganza was launched in 1996.

Unveiling the calendar of events, Laila Mohammed Suhail, CEO, Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment, said, "With all eyes on Dubai post Expo 2020 win, we are fully aware that we have to rise up to the expectations as DSF 2014 is the first festival after the announcement. We have made extra efforts to make sure that DSF truly lives up to its reputation as a festival for all by identifying a number of additional and special areas of Dubai to host the numerous activities to enable maximum exposure and opportunities for visitors to experience the vibrancy of this extravaganza and also reap its benefits.”

"Guided by the wise leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and based on the excellent cooperation between the government and private sector, the DSF brand has evolved from strength to strength and has contributed significantly towards Dubai's economy.

" In fact DSF accounts for 30 per cent of annual retail sales in the emirate and has also helped reinforced the city's reputation as a global tourism landmark. Indeed, DSF compliments Dubai's position as the tourism destination of choice in the region by narrowing the gap between the tourism and retail sectors under a common platform where businesses in both sectors work together to give visitors an enriching and memorable holiday experience.”

Suhail lauded the excellent role played by the private sector, and expressed her deep appreciation for the high level of support extended by the strategic partners of DFRE and the Key Sponsors of DSF 2014 to ensure that the festival yet again becomes a resounding success.

Studies have revealed that Dubai is well on course to achieving its Tourism Vision for 2020 of attracting 20 million tourists and 300 billion dirhams in tourism revenues annually, of which a major share would come from retail sales.

Retail purchases by visitors is set to reach almost 33 billion dirhams by 2017, accounting for more than a quarter of total sales, which is expected to increase at 5.7 per cent annually over the period 2013-2017.

The opening day will feature roaming, stage and street performers, spectacular fireworks, a DSF trademark, and various other events and activities, making it an unforgettable day for families and children.

Celebrations and carnivals go hand in hand, and DSF 2014 will be remembered for its visual feasts thanks to a colourful line-up of roaming, stage and street artistes getting together to perform at the DSF Carnival, which will be the biggest carnival in the history of DSF. – The Gulf Today
