GKL partners with traditional markets to mark Chuseok holiday

Grand Korea Leisure (GKL), the state-run operator of the Seven Luck casino brand, is collaborating with traditional market merchants in advance of Chuseok, Korea's harvest holiday. This joint marketing campaign seeks to attract foreign tourists and support local businesses, according to the company. From September 22 to 26, GKL will host the "K-Traditional Market Dessert Festa" at its Seven Luck Casino Gangnam Coex branch, offering visitors a chance to sample Korean snacks.

Approximately 10 stalls from the Yeongdong Traditional Market merchants association in Seoul's Gangnam District will be present, serving treats such as rice cakes, crispy fried chicken, twisted doughnuts, and steamed buns. The event will also distribute 200 sets of hand-pressed, domestically produced sesame oil. GKL President Yoon Doo-hyun emphasized that the event aims to enhance visitor satisfaction and stimulate the local economy by providing foreign tourists a unique opportunity to experience Korean traditional snacks. This initiative follows a visit by employees from GKL's Seoul Dragon.
