According to Lotte Group's representative, since opening, the complex has attracted nearly two million visitors, with an average daily footfall of 30,000 individuals, 25,000 on weekdays and 50,000 on weekends. This demonstrates the significant local interest in the integrated shopping model, which is expected to become Hanoi's premier landmark for both citizens and tourists, the representative added.

The representative stated that the Korean group chose Vietnam as the location for the mall as it not only meets local needs for a complete retail experience, but also contributes significantly to the area by rejuvenating the local economy and generating over 3,000 job opportunities.

Kim Sang-hyun, Vice Chairman and CEO of Lotte Shopping, said they will make Lotte Mall West Lake Hanoi one of the first things that comes to mind when locals and tourists think of Vietnam.

"Lotte Shopping will leap beyond being Korea's number one and become Asia's number one shopping destination through Lotte Mall West Lake Hanoi," he said,
