Take office as Mayor of Wonsan

Wonsan, North Korea · 360,000 people · Tourism Hub

The Wonsan-Kalma International Tourism Zone Management Committee oversees the DPRK's flagship coastal tourism development on the East Sea — coordinating the purpose built Wonsan-Kalma beach resort complex, managing Masikryong Ski Resort access logistics, operating the Wonsan cargo and passenger port, and administering the city's military adjacent zones alongside designated international tourist precincts under strict zoning compartmentalisation.

The record Wonsan keeps on the Board of Mayors is still unwritten. Take office and write its opening chapter.

The city

Landmark: Wonsan-Kalma Beach Resort & Masikryong Ski Area.

• The Wonsan-Kalma International Tourism Zone represents North Korea's most ambitious foreign visitor tourism project — a purpose built coastal resort complex with hotels, an international airport terminal, water parks, and beach facilities along the East Sea — requiring the Management Committee to coordinate state assigned construction brigades, foreign currency revenue management, and strict security zone separation protocols between international tourist areas and adjacent residential and military districts.
• The Wonsan Port Authority manages a dual use harbour combining civilian cargo handling and historical passenger ferry operations with naval facilities — requiring the port administration to precisely compartmentalise civilian commercial dock operations from restricted military zone access, with separate administrative channels, controlled pier zones, and coordinated vessel scheduling between the port's civilian and naval operational authorities.

How a term works

Take office and each day brings a live situation from the city's services: a decision to make and a result that is measured. A term is judged on approval, infrastructure, environment and innovation, within the city's budget, and every term adds to the record Wonsan keeps on the Board of Mayors. Mayors message and confer with one another, form councils, trade with neighbouring cities and send aid where it is needed. Cities rise together.
