From what I've seen, it's a QR code that links to a website which logs your IP address, along with other details.
Probably for targeted (or not so) hacking attacks. Heck might be a zero-day attack-kit on the web-page (probably geo-locked to the region).
I sure hope no one shares that link, leading to a subsequent spike in traffic and possibly taking the site down as a result. That would be a really shameful thing to see happen.
Not to mention the data corruption since the visitors would no longer be limited to the target area!
