Grand Korea Leisure (GKL), the state-run operator of the foreigner-exclusive casino brand Seven Luck, is collaborating with traditional market merchants to promote their upcoming holiday, Chuseok. This joint marketing campaign aims to attract foreign tourists and bolster local businesses. From September 22 to 26, GKL will host the "K-Traditional Market Dessert Festa" at its Seven Luck Casino Gangnam Coex branch.
During this event, approximately 10 stalls from the Yeongdong Traditional Market merchants association in Seoul's Gangnam District will serve visitors a variety of Korean snacks, such as rice cakes, crispy fried chicken, twisted doughnuts, and steamed buns.
In addition to the culinary offerings, the event will also feature the distribution of 200 sets of hand-pressed, domestically produced sesame oil. GKL's President, Yoon Doo-hyun, emphasized that the purpose of this event is to enhance tourist satisfaction and contribute to the local economy. By providing foreign visitors with an unusual opportunity to experience Korean traditional snacks, GKL hopes to create a memorable and unique experience for their guests. This event follows a recent visit by employees from GKL's Seoul Dragon branch.
