Wild Wadi Hits 4 Million MarkTORS
Oasis in Dubai's Desert
DUBAI, UAE, August 31, 2006. Wild Wadi Water Park, part of Jumeirah Group, the dynamic and fast growing Dubai-based luxury hospitality group, has welcomed its 4 millionth visitor, just seven years after it opened in 1999.
The 4 millionth milestone was reached when Ms. Mojgan Hatef from Iran arrived at the park with her husband and their two children. Ms. Hatef, who was vacationing in Dubai with her family, was greeted by the park's Executive Team and Wild Wadi Characters, and awarded a seven-night stay at New York's Jumeirah Essex House hotel. She later commented, "This is amazing, we were all very excited to come to Wild Wadi today, but to be the 4 millionth visitor and win a seven-night vacation in New York is just too unbelievable."
Chris Perry, Wild Wadi Water Park manager, who welcomed the lucky winner said, "The Wild Wadi team has been eagerly anticipating this mammoth milestone and we were thrilled to be able to celebrate this with one of our valued guests."
In 2005, the 3 millionth visitor to Wild Wadi, Ms. Franziska Meinl from Austria, had an unforgettable day when she was presented with a fantastic prize package in Dubai, which included a stay at the Burj Al Arab, Madinat Jumeirah, Jumeirah Beach Hotel, Jumeirah Bab Al Shams Desert Resort & Spa and four annual passes to Wild Wadi.
