Specific Purpose: Attractions, Malls and Hotels
I. Introduction A. Attention Getter- Who has ever been to New York City? Who has ever been to Las Vegas? Who has ever been to Miami? Who has ever seen pictures of these places? What if I told you there was another place just like all these places on the other side of the world. Does anyone know of the city of Dubai? It is exactly like New York City, Las Vegas and Miami in one. Dubai’s city is amazing. B. Thesis- Today I would like to inform you about some of the amazing places and things Dubai’s city has, such as their main attractions, malls and astonishing hotels.
In a 2006 times magazine article, “Inside Dubai Inc.” by Daren Fonda, “Dubai's economy is the healthiest in the Middle East, growing at a 16% annual clip and diversifying well beyond oil (which accounts for just about 6% of GDP), Dubai is embracing Tourism as a means of profit”. Transition: First, I would like to explore some of the various attractions Dubai has to offer.
