SEOUL: North Korea has completed construction of a massive tourist zone on its east coast, state media reported on Thursday (Jun 26), a key project driven by leader Kim Jong Un for years to promote tourism.
With “great satisfaction”, Kim attended an inaugural ceremony for the Wonsan Kalma coastal tourist area that could accommodate about 20,000 visitors and said the country would build more large-scale tourist zones swiftly, KCNA news agency said.
Kim has been rebuilding the seaside city of Wonsan, a vacation destination for locals, to turn it into a billion-dollar tourist hotspot. Development plans for Wonsan have mushroomed since they were first announced in 2014.
