Kim Jong Un Promotes Tourism With New Beach Resort in North Korea| Vantage on Firstpost

North Korea has just opened a new beach resort. Its leader Kim Jong Un, who's more often seen showing off missiles, was promoting the holiday spot with his family. Kim called the resort one of the country's "greatest feats" this year. It opens to locals on July 1st. But when it comes to foreign tourists, it is still a mystery. North Korea had sealed its borders back in 2020 when the pandemic began. Since 2023, it's been slowly easing those restrictions. It has allowed Russian tourist groups into the country, but its capital and other parts of the country remain closed to regular tourism. North Korea, one of the world's poorest countries, went through a major food crisis in 2023. So, what's this new resort really about? A serious attempt to reboot tourism or just another chapter in Kim's propaganda playbook? Watch the full story on Vantage.
