💨 Abstract

North Korea has temporarily suspended foreign tourist entries to its newly opened Wonsan-Kalma beach resort. While the reason and duration of this suspension are unclear, it likely follows critical reports from a Russian journalist. Analysts suggest the move is strategic, aiming to avoid negative perceptions and manage financial pressures as North Korea seeks to attract Russian and Chinese tourists to the massive complex, hailed as a significant tourism milestone by leader Kim Jong Un.
