The Korea Tourism Organization is holding a lucky draw event for Chinese tourists who visit Korea during the thanksgiving holiday and the Chinese national holiday from Saturday to Oct. 7.

The event titled “The Shopping Festival,” which runs through Dec. 30, features online and on-site events through which shoppers win free round-trip tickets and a hotel accommodation voucher for two persons.

Those who spend more than 100,000 won can apply for the event in Myeong-dong and Shinsegae Department Store with receipts. They can also participate through the Chinese social networking site Weibo (weibo.com/saikorea) and leave comments on why they want to travel to Korea.
