North Korea is poised to unveil a significant new coastal tourist resort next week, hailed by state media as a "prelude to a new era" for the country's tourism industry, despite its borders remaining largely closed to foreign visitors.
The Wonsan-Kalma coastal tourist zone, located on the nation's east coast, claims extensive facilities designed to accommodate nearly 20,000 guests. According to state media, the sprawling complex includes hotels and various other accommodations.
