Plans for North Korea's mega resort remain unclear, as the country is unlikely to fully reopen its borders and embrace Western tourists anytime soon. Instead, it could turn to Russian and Chinese tourists.

The Wonsan-Kalma beach resort is North Korea's biggest tourist site. KCNA said North Korea will begin service for domestic tourists next Tuesday. It didn't say when North Korea will start receiving foreign tourists, but Russian officials said later Thursday that the first Russian tour to the site will happen in July.
