"come enjoy what it has to offer"

"Visitors can also try on traditional costumes and make Bokjory, or a lucky bag, believed to bring good fortune to the family. The festival runs until Tuesday, so if you're in Seoul for Seol, come enjoy what Unhyeongung has to offer.

I have seen this sentence in a news article and I was wondering if has to is used here for the meaning of obligation or guess?

If you do not mind, could you pick the right number here?

1. (also have got to) used to show that you must do something

Sorry, I've got to go. Did she have to pay a fine

2.(also have got to especially in British English) used to give advice or recommend something

You simply have to get a new job. You've got to try this recipe—it's delicious.

3.(also have got to especially in British English) used to say that something must be true or must happen

There has to be a reason for his strange behaviour. This war has got to end soon.

4. used to suggest that an annoying event happens in order to annoy you, or that somebody does something in order to annoy you

Of course, it had to start raining as soon as we got to the beach. Do you have to hum so loudly? (= it is annoying)

Thank you so much as usual in advance.

No, has to offer here does not indicate an obligation. Has is used in the sense of possession. It basically means that the festival has many things available that people might find interesting and enjoyable.

The usual question would be What does it have to offer? A likely answer would be it has much to offer or it has many things to offer.
