Tourist Complex in Wonsan Kalma, With Capacity for 20 Thousand People, Will Open to North Korean Public on July 1st and Is Seen as a Step to Develop Local Tourism.
The North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, inaugurated this week a new tourist complex, a theme park with a water park in Wonsan Kalma, on the east coast of North Korea. The opening of the venture, which includes pools and slides, represents an effort by the government to boost tourism in the country. The site will be open to the public on July 1st.
One of “The Biggest Successes of the Year”
The opening ceremony was attended by Kim Jong-un. According to the North Korean state news agency, KCNA, the leader described the construction as “one of the biggest successes of this year.” He also classified the project as “the proud first step” in fulfilling the government’s policy for developing the tourism sector.
The New Theme Park of Wonsan Kalma

Located in the coastal zone of Wonsan Kalma, the new theme park is a significant bet by the North Korean government. The complex is designed to accommodate a large number of visitors. The estimated capacity is up to 20,000 people per day, offering a new leisure option for the population.

Focus on Domestic Tourism
Despite its grandeur, the new theme park will, for now, be for the exclusive use of the local population. Access to the complex, from its opening in July, will only be allowed for North Korean citizens. This initial measure concentrates the benefits of the venture on the domestic audience.
Challenges for International Tourism
Experts point out that North Korea faces challenges in reopening its borders to international tourism. The delay is due to a combination of factors. Among them are the restrictions imposed during the pandemic, the increasing tensions with the United States and South Korea, and concerns about the regime’s image that could be disclosed by Western visitors.
