Lotte Duty Free invites power bloggers to promote South Korean tourism and shopping

SOUTH KOREA. Lotte Duty Free Shop joined Southeast Asia’s largest online travel booking platform Klook to invite key influencers or ‘power bloggers’ to help raise awareness of South Korean tourism and duty free.

As reported, Lotte joined up with Klook in November last year to promote regional business via marketing activities.

The partnership aims to introduce Southeast Asian tourists to Lotte Duty Free shops, South Korean tourist attractions and Korean cosmetics.

The companies invited Singaporean Instagrammer Jemimah James Wei (@JemmaWei) and representatives from NYLON fashion magazine to visit the Lotte World Tower store in Seoul for a live social media broadcast on 26 March.

The video, which generated 30,000 viewers, featured shopping tips, K-beauty and highlighted the Gangnam tourism precinct and the World Tower Observatory.

Today (27 March) the power bloggers will visit Nami Island and the historic Jeonju Hanok Village to promote the tourist hotspots.
