North Korea to open beach resort as Kim bets on tourism

North Korea inaugurated its largest coastal tourist zone, the Wonsan‑Kalma resort, on June 24, 2025. Capable of hosting up to ~20,000 guests, it features hotels, restaurants, waterslides, and beach activities. Initially open only to domestic visitors from July 1, the resort marks a strategic push by Kim Jong Un to diversify the economy with tourism—potentially targeting Russian and Chinese tourists before fully reopening to foreigners.
