 Dubai, UAE, 23 Nov 2016: Dubai Trade, the single window for cross-border trade and smart trading solutions, is integrating the “Rosoom” e-payment gateway with the Global Village website. The agreement gives visitors the convenience of buying tickets online through the Global Village website www.globalvillage.ae or its mobile application.

During the 159 days of its twentieth edition, Global Village received 5.3 million visitors. With the new service, this year’s visitors will no longer need to wait in long queues at ticket booths before sampling the shopping and entertainment experience available at Global Village. They have a wide range of payment options to choose from including credit cards, direct debit by linking to the online internet banking portals of major banks, and pre-payment tools such as the e-dirham.

Eng. Mahmood Al Bastaki, CEO of Dubai Trade, said: “When His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, announced the Smart Government initiative, he highlighted his mobile phone to show how government processes should make life easier for people and more like the swift services provided by airlines. This is exactly what we are offering the visitors to Global Village. They can buy tickets electronically and scan the e-ticket at the gate to enter similar to the process involved for an electronic boarding pass.”

Al Bastaki, added: “The integration of “Rosoom” with the Global Village website and mobile application again shows how we are helping to transform Dubai into the smartest city in the world. While we offer our services to hundreds of thousands of clients each year, the Global Village caters for millions. This successful integration will be a great measure of Rosoom’s capabilities and its reputation as one of the most important e-payment platforms in the country.”
