Jeju Dream Tower Complex Resort posted its highest sales figure of the year in May, reaching nearly 650 billion won. Sales rose across the board in all sectors, led by the casino, followed by hotels and food and beverage.

Lotte Tourism Development announced on the 1st that Jeju Dream Tower Complex Resort achieved total sales of 649.6 billion won in two major sectors—casino (net sales) and hotel (based on separate standards)—last month.

This represents a 16.1% surge compared to the same period last year, which remained in the 500 billion won range (559.5 billion won), and a 2.1% increase from April (635.98 billion won). This is the first time May sales have reached the 600 billion won level and the third-highest monthly sales record in history.

By sector, the casino (Dream Tower Casino) recorded net sales of 494.24 billion won, a 19.5% surge compared to the same period last year (413 billion won).

Notably, the number of visitors reached 63,192, a 23.4% increase from the previous year (51,207), surpassing 60,000 for the first time on a monthly basis. Table drop also increased by 6.9% to 207.574 billion won, up from 194.191 billion won the previous year.

With the scale of casino visitors and drop amounts continuing to grow, the hold rate (table) reached 22.6%, coming very close to the average of 25.1% for the first quarter of 2026 across nine ultra-large complex resorts in the Cotai region of Macau, which boasts the world's highest profitability.

The steady sales growth in the hotel sector (Grand Hyatt Jeju) is also encouraging. Hotel sales for May reached 155.36 billion won, showing a stable upward trend of 6.5% compared to the previous year (145.9 billion won) and 6.0% compared to the previous month (146.56 billion won). With 43,318 room sales, the occupancy rate (OCC) also reached 87.3%.

Food and beverage (F&B) sales, featuring a lineup of global chefs, also rose 8.5% to 37.2 billion won from the previous month (34.28 billion won).

Lotte Tourism stated, "Despite geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the impact of high oil prices, May performance and visitor numbers reached record highs for the month." They added, "Since May sales have already far exceeded the peak season records of July and August last year, an earnings surprise exceeding expectations is anticipated for this year."
