Climate
Even if DPRKs climate isnt as temperate (Mediterranean) as the
one in Greece, still opportunities do exist for marine tourism to
expand.
We have to take under consideration the climate and the microclimate of the region in order to establish a better understanding
of what might succeed or not.
The adjacency of Wonsan to coastal front and mountains can be
a bonus for a full season tourism.
Can you share more about regions climate?

Legal framework/environment
No need to overstate that legal clarity is a must for any
investment to take place in tourism industry. Existing legal
framework for SEZ?
Any investor even if investment has to do with construction of a
hotel- has a business horizon of 25 years. An investment of such
duration, makes any investor to show due diligence of
countrys macroeconomics and economic and political stability.
Freedom of movement and safety of tourists shall also be of
paramount importance and consideration.

Future?
Which of the below measures, do you believe
that can facilitate marine tourism in Wonsan?
Future?
A destination marketing organization (DMO)
or convention and visitors bureau (CVB) is an
organization that promotes a town, city,
region, or country in order to increase the
number of visitors. It promotes the
development and marketing of a destination,
focusing on convention sales, tourism
marketing, and services.
Such organizations promote economic
development of a destination by increasing
visits from tourists and business travelers,
which generates overnight lodging for a
destination, visits to restaurants, and
shopping revenues and are typically funded by
taxes.
