Warning to Brits keen to visit North Korea's 'Benidorm' as danger tourism could prove fatal Hundreds of Brits signed up to visit North Korea’s “Benidorm” beach resort have been warned their safety is not guaranteed.
After several years of delays the resort, known as Wonsan and built at a former missile launch site, is ready for its first visitors from abroad arriving through a travel agency in Vladivostok, Russia.
Greg Scarlatoiu, executive director of the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea, said a visit was both unsafe and immoral.
"Having Russian nationals vacation there is testament to the pathetic isolation of both Russia and North Korea.
We were intrigued whether Brits would be interested in the new Wonsan resort and so we set up a page where people could register their interest.
