The dates for the 17th Dubai Shopping Festival 2012 has been announced by the Dubai Events and Promotions Establishment (DEPE), the official organisers of the event. The mega shopping and entertainment event will be held from January 05 to February 05, 2012 at Dubai Global Village and several other venues in Dubai.
The annual Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF) has emerged as the leading shopping and entertainment event in the region since its start in the year 1996. It’s the largest and longest running shopping and entertainment extravaganza attracting millions of shopping lovers from Middle East countries, UK, Germany, Russia, India and other countries of the world. The inaugural DSF attracted around 1.6 million shopping lovers from across the world. The number increased to over 3.35 million visitors in 2009 who spent a staggering 9.8 billion UAE Dirham, making Dubai Shopping Festival as the leading shopping event in the world. As planned by Dubai Events and Promotions Establishment (DEPE), the DSF has been playing a major role in boosting the emirate's tourism industry and the retail sector year after year.
After the grand success of Dubai Shopping Festival 2011, DSF 2012 promises more fun, excitements and shopping discounts to visitors. In the last edition of DSF, a new record was created both in terms of number of visitors and business it generated for retailers. According to Visa, one of the lead sponsors of Dubai Shopping Festival 2011, over US$406 million was spent on internationally-issued Visa cards in the UAE by overseas visitors during the 32-day long event, compared to US$297 million during DSF 2010.
