Kim Jong Un and his daughter's visit to a luxury tourist resort

The timing of this visit is particularly interesting, as North Korea has faced significant challenges in recent years, including economic difficulties exacerbated by international sanctions and the COVID-19 pandemic. By promoting tourism, Kim aims to boost the economy and alleviate some of the pressures faced by his regime. The visit served as a reminder of the government’s determination to present a facade of normalcy and prosperity amidst ongoing struggles.
