[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] As COVID-19 transitions to an endemic phase and international flights resume, the number of visitors to Jeju Dream Tower Casino surpassed 10,000 per month for the first time since its opening in June last year.

According to Lotte Tour Development on the 29th, the number of visitors to Dream Tower Casino, a foreigner-only casino, reached 12,152 from the beginning of this month through the 28th. This figure is nearly three times higher than the same period last year, when mainly foreign residents in Korea used the casino. The drop amount, which is the money exchanged for gaming, also soared vertically due to the rapid increase in casino visitors.

Lotte Tour Development expects the upward trend in the casino to accelerate, as additional VIP charter flights for the casino are being deployed and direct flights to Hong Kong are set to resume following Taiwan. The casino VIP charter flights have operated once to Japan and four times to Hong Kong, with four independent flight schedules planned by the end of the year, including one more to Japan and three more to Hong Kong.

General foreign tourists visiting the Jeju Dream Tower complex resort along with casino customers are also increasing significantly. According to Lotte Tour Development, foreign guest room bookings reached 16,236 from the beginning of this month through the 28th, more than four times the same period last year.

A representative from Lotte Tour Development stated, “Following Singapore, direct flights to Japan have opened, and with the consecutive operation of exclusive VIP charter flights to attract Hong Kong casino customers this month, the atmosphere in the gaming hall is showing a completely different appearance compared to before.”
