Jeju Dream Tower Complex Resort Approaching 1 Million Guests Milestone
Proving Hotplace Attracting 3 Million Visitors Including 1.96 Million Food and Beverage Customers
Hotel Division Sales Approaching 200 Billion Won
12 Million Won Worth of Prizes for the 1 Millionth Guest
[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Chang-won] Jeju Dream Tower Complex Resort is looking for the lucky guest who will be the one-millionth visitor.
Lotte Tour Development announced on the 27th that Jeju Dream Tower Complex Resort is entering the final countdown to surpassing one million guests ahead of its 2nd anniversary on December 18th.
According to Lotte Tour Development, as of the 26th since its opening, approximately 988,000 guests (98,8753 as of the 26th) have stayed at the Grand Hyatt Jeju, leaving only about 11,000 guests to reach the one million mark.
It is unprecedented for a domestic hotel (single hotel basis) to reach one million guests in less than two years since opening.
This record is primarily due to the overwhelming scale, boasting the largest number of rooms (1,600 rooms) among single hotels in Korea and ranking second among over 800 Hyatt hotels worldwide.
Additionally, with 14 restaurants & bars, the 8th-floor infinity pool which has become a hotspot for Instagrammers, and panoramic views of Jeju Sea, Jeju city, and Hallasan Mountain from all-suite rooms, it has become a must-visit hot place in Jeju with facilities and views completely different from existing hotels.
Besides the one million guests, the number of food and beverage users during the same period (December 18, 2020 ? October 26, 2022) reached 1.96 million, proving its popularity.
Even excluding casino customers, nearly 3 million visitors have visited Jeju Dream Tower Complex Resort.
Accordingly, hotel division sales are also approaching 200 billion KRW.
Since opening until the 26th, room sales recorded 123.2 billion KRW, and food and beverage sales reached 65.5 billion KRW, totaling 194.5 billion KRW in sales.
A Lotte Tour Development official said, “The results are even more meaningful as they were achieved amid the harsh trials of COVID-19,” adding, “With the reopening atmosphere, Jeju’s air routes are gradually opening, and expectations for a rush of foreign tourists are growing.”
Following the opening of the Singapore air route in June, direct flights from Osaka to Jeju (7 times a week) will resume on the 11th of next month, and direct flights from Taiwan will resume on December 1st.
On the 29th of last month, a Japanese delegation of about 200 people, including 160 influencers and 39 casino VIPs, visited Jeju Dream Tower Complex Resort for a 3-day, 2-night schedule, raising expectations for Jeju tourism.
Before the air routes fully opened, the number of foreign guests increased sharply by 163%, from only 3,906 in September last year to 10,276 in September this year.
In this regard, Lotte Tour Development plans to launch exclusive charter flights for Japanese casino VIPs next month, the first in the industry, and will actively target foreign tourists centered on casino VIPs.
Meanwhile, Lotte Tour Development will provide the one-millionth guest (based on check-in) with a 10-night stay voucher for the Grand Hyatt Jeju’s signature Corner Suite (130㎡) along with resort dollars worth 3 million KRW usable at 14 food and beverage outlets and other facilities including room service.
Additionally, the 999,999th and 1,000,001st guests will receive a 2-night stay in the Corner Suite and resort dollars worth 1 million KRW.
