The Dubailand project is to be reviewed in light of the global financial crisis according to Khalid Al Malik, chief executive of Tatweer, the project's developer.
The economic climate has seen developers across the Gulf region reassess their plans in light of the difficulty of obtaining operating capital at maneagable interest rates.
Malik said that although the project is going forward as planned for now, the company and government officials are "assessing the current situation and are working out a plan, which will be publicily announced.
"We are committed to completing and delivering these projects because we know that this is the only way we can achieve our 2015 tourism vision," he continued.
Dubailand is one of the most complex and ambitious projects in Dubai’s history and the masterplan includes 45 theme-based projects made up of amusement parks, hotel complexes and leisure facilities, all geared towards attracting families.
