The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is stopping foreign visitors from coming to its newest beach resort less than a month after it opened to the public. The scenic Wonsan-Kalma Coastal Tourist Area on the nation’s east coast announced Friday that it will “temporarily” be banning international tourists without offering an explanation.

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.

Just weeks after opening a massive new beach resort, North Korea has temporarily suspended foreign tourism to the self-proclaimed "world-class" facility.
