According to reports from North Korean state media, a beach resort on the country's east coast, officially opened last July, has welcomed thousands of domestic tourists. Its facilities have been considerably expanded compared to when it first launched.
The resort is promoted as a new destination to boost domestic tourism, offering residents opportunities for relaxation and entertainment. The expansion includes a range of amenities for visitors, from beach areas and lodging to dining and recreational services.
The North Korean government is actively developing domestic tourism as part of its strategy to stimulate local economies and improve living standards. The influx of visitors to the resort indicates growing domestic demand for leisure travel, especially as international tourism remains limited.
Observers note that North Koreans' interest in domestic travel spots reflects shifting consumption and entertainment habits, and serves as a positive sign for the country's tourism sector in the new era.
