The only hotel in North Korea was exposed. Is North Korea building hotels to develop tourism?

Yes, it is mainly to develop tourism, because hotels can carry a large volume, which not only carries the development of tourism in the whole region, but also drives the economic growth of the whole society. Since North Korea put forward the new strategic line of "the whole party and the whole country concentrate all their efforts on socialist economic construction", all walks of life in North Korea have made great progress, especially the development of tourism. In order to further promote the development of tourism, North Korea's tourism department is planning to build Sanchiyuan area, Yuanshan Gema coast tourist area and Yangdejun hot spring tourist area into world-class tourist attractions to attract more foreign tourists.

The party and government of North Korea attach great importance to the development of tourism in North Korea. The North Korean portal "My Country" said, "The Democratic People's Republic of Korea regards tourism as an important work that has a positive contribution to strengthening mutual understanding and cultural exchanges with the people of the world and developing the national economy in line with the concept of independence, peace and friendship, and adopts active policies to develop tourism." In recent years, North Korea's tourism industry has continuously made new progress. Since the beginning of this year, Kim Jong-un has not only inspected the construction site of hot spring tourist area in Yang De county twice, but also inspected the construction site of Gema coastal tourist area in Yuanshan in April, making demands and giving instructions.

It can be seen that a large part of the reason for North Korea to build homestays is to promote the development of North Korea's tourism industry, but also to keep up with the trend of the times, promote economic development and carry forward North Korea's culture.

After B&B arrived in North Korea, different business models appeared. It is said that there is only one homestay village in North Korea, which is built by the state and managed by the village head. In order to build this "state-level" homestay village, the government specially moved 20 farmers to take charge of the operation. On weekdays, everyone does farm work together. When tourists check in, every householder here becomes the person in charge of entertaining guests.
