First, until December 31, foreign guests staying at 64 hotels in Seoul, Busan, and Jeju will receive a discount coupon pack for use at Lotte Mart offline stores. The coupon pack contains three coupons: a 3,000 won discount for purchases over 50,000 won, a 5,000 won discount for purchases over 70,000 won, and a 7,000 won discount for purchases over 100,000 won. In addition, separate discount coupons for use at Lotte Mart will be provided through the travel platform company KKDAY and the online travel agency Konest.

At three stores-Zeta Plex Seoul Station, Yeongjongdo, and Gwangbok branches-a complimentary “K-Mart Guidebook” will be distributed. This guidebook introduces K-food, souvenirs, daily necessities popular among visitors to Korea, and provides information on convenience services for foreigners available at select stores, such as baggage storage, EMS international shipping, and interpretation support.

At three stores near Gyeongju, where the APEC Summit will be held-Pohang, Ulsan, and Jinjang branches-special events will be held for foreign visitors. Foreign customers who spend over 70,000 won at these stores will receive a foldable travel shopping bag. In addition, from October 27 to 29, a special discount event will allow customers to purchase “Korean beef sirloin (100g)” at half price when paying with an event card.

At the Zeta Plex Seoul Station branch, a special social media event for foreign tourists will run for one week from October 27 to November 2. During the event period, customers who follow the Lotte Mart Japan Instagram channel, “like” the event post, and present a receipt showing a purchase of over 10,000 won on the same day will receive a “Oneuljoheun Gim Matna” seaweed snack. This event is limited to the first 100 customers per day on a first-come, first-served basis.

Shim Youngjun, Head of Commerce Marketing for Lotte Mart and Lotte Super, stated, “We have prepared a variety of convenience services and giveaway events for the many foreign visitors expected during the APEC Summit. We hope that foreign customers will enjoy a convenient and pleasant shopping experience at Lotte Mart during their stay.”
