Changi Airport Group (CAG) welcomes South Korean travel retailer Lotte Duty Free (Lotte) as its key liquor and tobacco concessionaire at Singapore Changi Airport today. Bringing its extensive travel retail experience to Changi, Lotte will eventually offer over 3,000 tax- and duty-free wines and spirits as it expands its product line-up progressively.
Travellers can look forward to a wide variety of brands and products from special and limited-edition whiskies and cognacs, exclusive labels only found in Changi Airport, a dedicated collection of Asian spirits highlighting brands from Singapore and Korea, as well as alcohol-free options to cater to a growing demand for non-alcoholic beverages.
Renovation works for Lotte’s stores at Changi Airport will take place in phases, beginning in Terminals 1 and 3, once circuit breaker restrictions are lifted. Integrating elements of nature, inspired by Changi Airport’s iconic gardens, and featuring innovative in-store technologies, Lotte’s design concept for its stores will redefine the retail experience at Changi.
Shoppers can look forward to unique concepts such as a specialised cognac brand boutique, immersive experience zones dedicated to whiskey, gin and wines, and a high-tech tasting bar, among others.
With the gradual re-starting of activities post-circuit breaker restrictions in Singapore, Lotte will first retail on Changi Airport’s duty-free e-commerce platform before its physical stores open at a later stage.
To celebrate the start of its operations, Lotte is offering a 7% discount on a curated range of products from 12 to 30 June, in addition to tax- and duty-absorbed prices, as well as a 5% discount voucher for the next purchase in-store. Singapore residents can also shop selected Lotte’s products on iShopChangi without flying.
Lotte has been awarded the liquor and tobacco concession for a six-year term that covers all 18 liquor and tobacco stores across Changi Airport’s four terminals, spanning more than 8,000 sqm of retail space.
