Pyongyang, December 31 (KCNA) -- A Korean-style coastal tourist city is splendidly
springing up in Myongsasimni, renowned as a nation's typical eastern coastal scenic
spot, demonstrating the dynamic spirit of socialist Korea ushering in a new era of
transformation and high civilization with a great ambition and ideal.
The Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea unveiled a plan for building a
peculiar tourist resort satisfying the cultural and emotional demands of our people on

beautiful beaches by preserving the natural and geographical features of our country
as a maritime nation, and has led the project step by step. Under its meticulous
guidance, many hotels, hostels, sea-bathing service facilities, various sports and
amusement service facilities, commercial and catering facilities, etc. have been built
in Myongsasimni of Kalma peninsula, presenting a beautiful landscape.

the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, looked around
several hotels and other service facilities inaugurated on December 29.
Feasting his eyes with a bright smile on the coastal tourist city in its picturesque
appearance along the beach beaten by calm and clear blue waves of the east sea,
the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said: When guiding the construction on the
spot, 1 had said that Myongsasimni would be a 4km-long stretch of beach crowded

with people full of happy laughter. Now the ideal has come true.
Noting that the Kalma coastal tourist area is very spectacular, beautiful and
magnificent, he expressed great satisfaction at the fact that the major service
facilities in the area have been built at a high level so that they can be utilized for
successfully hosting important external, political and cultural events of the state.
Saying that service capability and level constitute the value of a tourist attraction and
an important factor decisive of its prospect, he gave precious instructions for the
successful management and operation of service facilities, including the issue of
proactively developing various kinds of new services and training world-level service
workers.
Our country has rich and diverse tourist resources to be envied by the world, along
with its political stability, institutional advantages and material and economic
conditions essential for the development of tourist industry, he said, adding; If the
tourist industry is developed by making active use of such favorable conditions and

environment, it will open up a new realm of socialist cultural construction and bring
about another motive force for promoting regional rejuvenation and national
economic growth.
To this end, it is arising as an important issue to ensure maximum efficiency and
profitability through a scientific survey of tourist resources, properly set the legal
standards concerning the development of tourist zones, construction of tourist
facilities and natural and environmental protection, follow the world trend in tourist
service and operation of tourist facilities and produce various tourist souvenirs, he
said, indicating detailed tasks for developing the nation’s tourist industry.
The construction of the Kalma coastal tourist area is the first big step of great
significance in putting the national tourist industry on a track of epochal
development, he added.
He called for arranging a good tourist route from the Mt. Kumgang tourist area to the
Kalma coastal tourist area, proactively exploiting the tourist resources in other
regions, including the mountaineering tourism in the Samjiyon area, to firmly
consolidate the material foundations for boosting regional economy and people's
living standards and give a complete face-lift to the appearance of the country.
He expressed belief that the Kalma coastal tourist area, associated with the beach
culture of our beautiful country, would be well renowned as a national, world-class
scenic spot popular with our people and foreigners.
The tourist area will be open for its visitors from June, 2025. -0-
