At Lotte Duty Free Myeongdong Main Store, Chinese tourists continue to visit ahead of the two biggest Chinese holidays, Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day. Chinese influencer 'Zhouzhou (周周)', who has 45 million followers, filmed a video introducing Lotte Duty Free stores and duty-free shopping information at the Myeongdong main store the day before. In particular, on the 2nd of next month, about 1,000 Chinese group tourists are scheduled to enter Lotte Duty Free World Tower Store. This is the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic that a group of Chinese tourists in the thousands has visited at once. They will visit Korea for 4 nights and 5 days, including famous Seoul spots such as Gyeongbokgung Palace and Seongsu Cafe Street, as well as shopping courses.

In response, Kim Joo-nam, CEO of Lotte Duty Free, and about 10 junior board employees from the MZ generation wore hanbok and opened a K-culture experience booth. This surprise event was prepared by Lotte Duty Free employees to provide customers with diverse entertainment ahead of the Chuseok holiday. Foreign tourists were introduced to Korean culture and traditional folk games through experiences such as jegichagi (Korean shuttlecock kicking) and ttakji chigi (folded paper tile flipping), and various gifts were given to enhance shopping satisfaction.

The number of outbound travelers leaving for overseas during the Chuseok holiday is also expected to exceed 1 million. In line with this, Lotte Duty Free has strengthened promotions for domestic customers, including preparing record-breaking prize events. Until September 30, a raffle for world travel packages across five continents will be held for all customers purchasing at Lotte Duty Free downtown stores and online duty-free shops, regardless of purchase items or amounts. From September 11 to October 10, customers who spend a combined total of $250 or more at Lotte Duty Free online and offline stores will be entered into a draw to win a two-person Guam travel package including round-trip airfare and accommodation.

Until the 31st of next month, all Lotte Duty Free stores will offer up to 830,000 KRW in LDF PAY, which can be used like cash, depending on the purchase amount. On the 27th, an 'Early Bird Chuseok Promotion' will provide an additional LDF PAY of up to 220,000 KRW. Lotte Internet Duty Free offers up to 50% discount on products from 11 premium beauty brands, and until September 30, a 30% discount continues on all Chinese liquors. For foreign customers, from the 28th to October 15, Lotte Duty Free downtown stores will provide additional LDF PAY up to 260,000 KRW based on purchase amounts, and customers who purchase over $1 will receive scratch coupons with various prizes including LDF PAY worth 8 million KRW.
