유커 없이 면세점 매출 사상 최대…1∼9월 매출, 작년 넘어
The nation's duty free stores celebrate reaching a new milestone today.
According to the Korea Duty Free Association, sales during the past nine months reached record levels: twelve-point-nine billion U.S. dollars.
That's a spike of 100 million dollars compared to last year.
An increasing number of Chinese purchasing agents,... who buy Korean goods and supply them to consumers back home, pushed up sales, despite the sluggish recovery in Chinese group tours to South Korea.
