Sales at local duty-free shops reached an all-time high last month, thanks to purchases by Chinese tourists during the Lunar New Year holiday.
According to data from Korea Duty Free Shops Association, sales hit a new monthly high of one-point-five billion US dollars,... up thirty-five percent from the same period last year.
February marked the second consecutive month that domestic duty-free sales set a new monthly record.
Experts credit the performance to Chinese shoppers who visited Korea during holidays including the Lunar New Year holiday and Valentines' Day.
