North Korea says it is banning the entry of foreign tourists to a recently opened mega beach resort, a move that dims prospects for the complex. A website run by North Korea’s tourism authorities said in a notice Wednesday that the eastern coastal Wonsan-Kalma complex “is temporarily not receiving foreign tourists.” It gave no further details. North Korea says the complex can accommodate nearly 20,000 guests. It opened to domestic tourists July 1 before receiving a small group of Russian tourists last week. Observers have expected North Korea to open the resort to Chinese tourists.
