Lotte opens duty-free store in Vietnam 

 Tuesday, June 6,2017

AsemconnectVietnam - Lotte Duty Free, a subsidiary of South Korea’s Lotte Group, has partially opened its first duty-free store in the central coast city of Danang, which will operate in full steam in August, according to Yonhap News.

Yonhap cited a statement of Lotte Duty Free as saying that Lotte has joined forces with a Vietnamese company to establish Phu Khanh Duty Free Trading Co Ltd on a 60-40 footing to operate the duty-free business.

Lotte decided to open the Phu Khanh Company at Danang International Airport because Danang is considered a popular destination for Korean tourists to Vietnam.

Lotte Vietnam Shopping Co Ltd, another subsidiary of Lotte Group, has confirmed the opening of a duty-free store in Vietnam. However, the number of duty-free stores to be opened in Vietnam has not been revealed.

Lotte, the third largest duty-free company in the world after Dufry of Switzerland and DFS of the U.S., is the first Korean firm to tap the Vietnamese duty-free retail market.

Lotte Vietnam has opened 13 supermarkets and commercial centers across the country. Lotte Department Store, another subsidiary of Lotte Group, has two large commercial centers in Vietnam: Diamond Department Store in HCMC and Lotte Hanoi Center in Hanoi.
