North Korea is opening a beach resort that its leader Kim Jong Un hopes will boost tourism in the secretive communist regime, state media reports.
Wonsan Kalma on the east coast will open to domestic tourists on 1 July, six years after it was due to be completed. It is unclear when it will welcome foreigners.

Are there any stats on tourists that visit North Korea? I know that there’s a handful of Russians and Chinese that do the state tours, but anyone else?
Unironically if North Korea overthrows the regime, democratizes and opens up it could easily leverage itself relatively easily as a tourist hotspot, not only because the novelty of it but because swaths of land have been completely untouched by humanity, leading to some wonderful sights of nature that almost nobody has seen.
