Lotte Duty Free is one of the largest duty free retailers in the world, renowned for its strong presence across Asia and its ability to connect global brands with high-value travellers. With flagship stores in key travel hubs and a growing international footprint, Lotte delivers premium retail experiences across luxury goods, beauty, and spirits. For Australian United Spirits, Lotte Duty Free provides a strategic gateway into the Asian travel retail market, particularly among Korean, Chinese, and Southeast Asian consumers.
Lotte Duty Free is part of the Lotte Group, founded in 1948 by Korean entrepreneur Shin Kyuk-ho. The duty free division was established in 1980 and has since grown into a dominant force in global travel retail, supported by the wider Lotte conglomerate’s expertise in retail, hospitality, and consumer goods.
Originating in South Korea, Lotte Duty Free operates an extensive network of airport and downtown duty free stores across Asia and expanding international markets including Australia, Japan, Vietnam, and the United States. The brand is known for its strong digital integration, loyalty programs, and appeal to Asian travellers. Its scale and regional influence make it an ideal partner for suppliers like Australian United Spirits looking to build brand presence in Asia.
