Lotte World Adventure is realizing the vision as the global entertainment enterprise through the ‘Vietnam Hanoi Aquarium’ to be opened this year and ‘Lotte World Adventure Busan’ opened in March 2022. Recently, Lotte World Adventure became an innovator, leading the trend and diversifying business areas to online, including the issuance of an NFT (Non-Fungible Token) and starting a Metaverse service.

Lotte World is implementing a variety of attempts through the projects targeting the MZ generation (early 1980s to early 2000s). Lotte World Adventure launched ‘Cart Rider Racing World’, the offline attraction for the online game Cart Rider, in November last year. ‘Cart Rider Racing World’ enables visitors to enjoy the online game ‘Cart Rider: Drift’ in a cart in the offline space.

Lotte World Adventure is also actively promoting the IP licensing business.
