Lotte Department Store said on the 12th that it will expand and revamp the benefits of its “Lotte Tourist Membership,” a service tailored to foreign visitors.

First introduced at the Main Branch in December last year, the “Lotte Tourist Membership Card” is exclusively for foreign nationals and can be issued with just a passport. It offers a 5% discount on department store purchases, discounts at Lotte Group affiliates, and transit card functionality. The card is now available at the Main Branch, Jamsil Branch, and Busan Main Branch, with more than 250,000 cards issued to date.

In collaboration with Lotte Card’s “Check In Seoul,” a prepaid card exclusively for foreign nationals, Lotte Department Store will launch the new “Lotte Tourist Membership x Check In Seoul.” The card adds prepaid payment functionality to the existing benefits and offers an additional 10% reward on purchases of 100,000 won or more at the department store. Customers can also receive a 10% discount at Lotte Duty Free, a 7% discount at Lotte Mart, and benefits at more than 70 partner businesses in sectors including beauty and culture.

Lotte Department Store will install six self-service kiosks on the first basement level, first floor, and ninth floor of the Main Branch, where customers can get cards issued, add funds, and receive refunds. By the end of the year, it will provide discount vouchers to foreign customers traveling on Korean Air routes to Europe and Southeast Asia. It also plans to open a “Foreign Customer Concierge Lounge” on the first floor of the Main Branch in late November.

Kang Woojin, head of Lotte Department Store’s Main Branch, said, “Launched at the Main Branch, the Lotte Tourist Membership Card has grown, thanks to the enthusiastic support of foreign customers, into a comprehensive service covering payments, transportation, and travel convenience. We will continue to identify services that foreign customers need and make the Main Branch a shopping destination they will want to visit again.”
