Read all about the new Wonsan Kalma resort, which features 54 luxury hotels, a water park, golf courses, and beautiful beaches all on the country's largest island, Songdak. The North Korean leadership is touting it as a big step toward developing the country's tourism industry.

For decades, the beaches of Wonsan have been popular with the country's political elite, who regularly visit the coastal city to swim, sail, and hike along its rocky cliffs and sandy bays. Now, thousands of North Koreans will be able to experience the same, according to the country's media.

Kim Jong Un personally attended the opening ceremony for the Wonsan Kalma resort, which includes dozens of new hotels, a water park, and entertainment facilities, with more to come.

The resort is described as a "perfect paradise" in the nation's official newspaper, the Rodong Sinmun. It underscores how the North Korean leadership is developing the nation's tourism industry as part of a plan to boost its economy.

Even though the resort only opened to the public on July 1, its opening ceremony was attended by Kim Jong Un himself, indicating that the completion of the project was a priority for the regime. With 54 hotels and entertainment facilities, including aquatic parks and golf courses, Wonsan Kalma Resort is expected to become a popular tourist destination for the nation's domestic visitors.

While the resort's opening marks a step toward developing the country's tourism industry, the nation's leadership continues to grapple with food shortages and concerns about economic stability.
