Expect great things from DIFC 2013

Despite being very busy helping the participating teams to prepare for the DIFC 2013, Mr Joe Ghazzal, the Director of Global2000 International Company from Malaysia, the consultants for the event, managed to find time for a short interview with a Da Nang Newspaper reporter to share information about the festival.
Q: What are the new and more attractive aspects of this year’s festival compared with previous years?
A: This is the first time that Team Russia has participated in an Asian fireworks competition. The newcomers are expected to thrill the audience with their unique performance. In addition, the spectators will be enchanted by the different cultural values and numerous beautiful lighting effects, as well as the melodious music background. The performances of the participating teams will play a vital role in ensuring the success of the festival.
Q: What are the strengths and weaknesses of the participating teams?
A: The professional contestants have competed in many fireworks competitions around the world. In addition, they have their own pyrotechnic technologies as well as secrets about their fireworks performances. The participating teams will arrive in the city from 22 - 24 April.
Q: What are the main differences between the DIFC and other foreign fireworks competitions?
A: Fireworks competitions in other countries usually take place on 2 non-consecutive days. Therefore, visiting spectators tend to just watch one evening’s displays. By contrast, at the DIFC they have an opportunity to enjoy all of the performances because they are held across 2 consecutive evenings.
During the festival, there will be a wide range of attractive activities including a parade of boats decorated with flowers, candle-lit flower garlands floating on the river, and musical performances featuring the cultural characteristics of the participating teams. Thanks to all of this, the festival is expected to attract a large number of both domestic and international visitors. Some are coming from the USA and Germany, and from other countries too..
