The company explained that the Chinese group tourists who visited Shilla I'Park Duty Free Shop on the 8th were genuine travelers, not travel agency agents, and that they were the first group of Chinese tourists to visit domestic duty-free shops since group tours to Korea were permitted on the 10th of last month. The total number of tourists reached approximately 700.

An HDC Shilla Duty Free representative said, "Following the government's plan to revitalize Chinese inbound tourism, it is especially meaningful that about 700 Chinese group tourists visited Shilla I'Park Duty Free Shop, a downtown duty-free store jointly operated by HDC Group and Hotel Shilla."

HDC Shilla Duty Free plans to target Chinese tourists during China's National Day holiday from the 29th of this month to the 6th of next month by offering discounts based on purchase amounts and major payment methods such as Alipay and WeChat Pay, as well as hosting various brand joint promotions, discount events, and giveaways on its online duty-free shop.
