The event is designed to provide duty-free shopping benefits to both domestic and international tourists visiting Korea, with the aim of attracting peak season travelers and revitalizing domestic consumption.


A total of 22 duty-free shops nationwide, including those in Incheon, Seoul, Busan, and Jeju, as well as online duty-free stores, will offer benefits such as up to 50% discounts both online and offline, and complimentary gifts. In addition, regional duty-free shops will provide special discounts and tourism-linked events to promote local consumption.


This year’s event is expected to be even more vibrant and to offer wider shopping benefits, as it will be held in conjunction with the large-scale national shopping festival, the 'Korea Grand Festival.'



An official from the Korea Customs Service stated, "We will do our utmost to ensure that the Korea Duty-Free FESTA stimulates domestic consumption and revitalizes the duty-free industry."
