Consumer electronics mass merchandiser Laox announced plans to open their largest duty-free shop in Canal City Hakata next April. With a planned 4,500 square meters of floor space, it will be the largest duty-free shop in Kyushu. Their objective is to reap the benefits of the growing numbers of Chinese and South Korean tourists to the region, particularly with the increase in cruise ships from Shanghai calling on the Port of Hakata.
