A little like the Hawks Tasmania thing, except on steroids. And we wouldn't have to play there.

US$3million a year is loose change for those guys.


More than a stab in thedark I reckon.

Dubai is due to run out of oil in about 10 years. They are desperately trying to develop their economy into a tourist/business based economy. They have been spending billions on some (frankly) crazy projects. Some of which can be seen via satellite.

Personally I think they will struggle to attract tourists to a place that is regularly over 40 degrees in summer, the businessmen will leave when the oil and the money dries up. Has the makings of the biggest white elephant of all time.

BUT the billions will be flowing for another 10 years.

Spending a few million a year to advertise to an affluent audience of millions using CFC is not beyond the realms of possibility. Hope it happens. :-D


Jarusa your picture is out of date. If you go to Google now...

Definitely not Visy.

This is about Pratt using his connections, rather than just his own business.

Dubai doesnt have much oil Jarusa. Thats why they're developing other infrastructure. Tourism and manufacturing are what they are concentrating on.

Tourists will go there because it is the hub of Emirates. If you can convince them to stay for 2-3 days with man-made ski mountains, water parks and other activities, you've got a viable tourist industry
