Probably, besides Russians and Chinese, there won’t be many other foreigners there.
North Korea has inaugurated a “world-class” resort aimed at foreign tourists. According to The Guardian , the resort is primarily targeting Russians.
The Wonsan Calma resort is located on the east coast of the DPRK on the outskirts of the city of Wonsan. In addition to a four-kilometer beach, several dozen hotel buildings, shopping centers with restaurants, a water park and other elements of a modern resort town have been built here. The resort, designed to simultaneously receive up to 20 thousand tourists, is scheduled to open on July 1.
North Korean authorities held a lavish opening ceremony for the resort, complete with fireworks and a host of high-ranking guests, including dictator Kim Jong-un and his daughter, the heir to the throne. The Russian ambassador was also invited to the ceremony, as Pyongyang is counting on a large influx of Russian tourists.
The other day it became known that the Russian airline Nordwind has applied to Rosaviatsia with a request to allow it to operate two regular flights per week from Moscow to Pyongyang.

As befits a totalitarian dictatorship, the location chosen for the resort was quite specific – not far from the missile range, where Kim Jong-un recently watched another ballistic missile launch towards the Sea of Japan. This nuance was previously reported by Russian media .
Satellite images also clearly show that a large airport is located right next to the alley with hotel high-rise buildings, which is also unlikely to contribute to a comfortable stay.
Life in North Korea
As UNIAN reported, there is only one user of the Steam gaming service in the DPRK . It is believed that he is most likely Kim Jong-un, whose love for modern Western culture is well known.
We also talked about what life is like for average schoolchildren in North Korea . Their school days are filled with almost ritualistic worship of the ruler and hard work instead of normal lessons.
I’d be careful with ruSSian ‘tourists’.
Could always redirect those missile launches and turn them into crispy critters. 🤣
That would be an ideal place for a Trump Tower.
