Casino sales at Jeju Dream Tower reached US$330 million in 2025, driven by a sharp rebound in visitation as international travel continued to normalise. According to figures released by operator Lotte Tour Development, the resort’s casino recorded a 54% year-on-year increase in visitor numbers, reflecting stronger demand from overseas markets, particularly from China and other parts of Northeast Asia. The performance marks one of the strongest annual results since the foreigner-only casino opened, highlighting Jeju’s renewed appeal as a regional gaming and leisure destination.
The rise in casino sales was underpinned not only by higher footfall but also by improved average spend per visitor, supported by premium-focused marketing and better air connectivity to Jeju Island. Industry analysts note that the easing of travel restrictions and expanded flight capacity in 2024–2025 played a critical role in reviving demand, especially among VIP and premium mass players. Comparable recovery trends have also been observed at other foreigner-only casinos in South Korea, though Jeju Dream Tower has stood out due to its scale and integrated resort positioning.
Beyond gaming, the resort’s broader performance benefited from higher hotel occupancy and increased non-gaming spend, aligning with South Korea’s wider tourism recovery narrative. According to government and tourism-industry data, inbound arrivals to Jeju have risen steadily through 2025, supporting both gaming and hospitality revenues. Market watchers suggest that while competition among regional gaming destinations remains intense, Jeju Dream Tower’s 2025 results underline the potential for sustained growth if international visitation continues to strengthen into 2026.
