Miles of white sand, turquoise waters, and rows of pristine beachfront hotels line the shore at the newly built Wonsan-Kalma resort. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un hopes the development will be his country’s answer to Waikiki. But there’s one problem: the tourists aren’t there. When CNN reviewed footage from the resort, which
opened in June, only a handful of Russians could be seen on the vast stretches of beach. The rest of the area appeared empty.
