Thanks to the firm revolutionary will of the Workers’ Party of Korea to bring about shining efflorescence of socialist civilization on our land in our own way and with our own resources, entities for a new life and for new wellbeing are being created one after another in different parts of the country. In these days of rejuvenation, a modern coastal resort has been developed on the Kalma peninsula, famous for its beautiful coastal scenery, greeting the auspicious moment of its inauguration.

In the Wonsan Kalma area hundreds of buildings of modern beauty and in various forms have been built in harmony with the scenery of the coastal area widely known for its outstanding landscape from olden times, achieving a perfect artistic compatibility and connectivity. The area is a coastal resort town of our own style without an equal in the world both in name and reality.

From among the hotels that can accommodate nearly 20 000 persons, the tourists from home and abroad can choose any one to stay according to their tastes. The tourist area has sea-bathing service facilities and various sports, amusement, commercial and public catering facilities fully equipped with all the necessary conditions, as well as facilities for other cultural and leisure activities, which can offer all year round the real taste of the east coast, presenting a wonderful picture of a 4km-long stretch of beach to be crowded with the people every year.

The transformation of the Wonsan Kalma area, a great auspicious event of the whole country, is a brilliant fruition of the profound thinking and inexhaustible efforts of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, who unfolded a grand blueprint for building a world-class cultural resort and saw to it that all the architectural structures were perfectly built staking the dignity of our state and the honour of our generation. It is also a prelude to a new era of our country’s tourism that was ushered in by the great spirit of service of the Workers’ Party of Korea which is steadily carving out new spheres of socialist civilization and important cultural progress that set up an epochal milestone in the building of the tourist industry of our own style.
