September 27 is World Tourism Day.
The DPRK is directing significant efforts to the development of the tourist industry.
Endowed with diverse and rich tourist resources, the country has unique political stability and institutional durability. The tourist industry in the country contributes to accelerating the cultural development and regional rejuvenation and growing the overall national economy.
The DPRK is a country sea-girt on the east and west and dotted with scenic spots including Mt Kumgang and Mt Chilbo on the east coast. This is why the country gives priority to developing the rich coastal tourist resources in a rational way.
Recently, the Wonsan Kalma Coastal Tourist Area has been admirably built in Myongsasimni on the Kalma peninsula, a famous scenic attraction in the country. Since its inauguration, a large number of people have visited the resort to spend a pleasant time.
Meanwhile, a number of projects, including the one to build a modern tourist town in the Mt Paektu area, are under way to develop mountain tourism to meet the physiographic features of the country in which mountains account for nearly 80 per cent of the territory.
At present, the country is vigorously pushing the construction of the Samjiyon tourist area including a large ski resort in the area of Mt Paektu, 2 750 metres above sea level. The mountain covered with dense primeval forests is the highest mountain in the country and one of world-famous mountains.
