Boy boy should visit
Do they think North Koreans just go to work and then come home and stare at the wall the rest of the day?
Unironically yes
No, silly, they think the people stare at the government mandated photo of the Kim family on their wall

GHOST BEACH CITIES
Just like China's "ghost cities" which are now not ghost cities they're going to pretend this is all some spooky stupid shit instead of acknowledging that they're being constructed as part of long term plans and expectations in the future.
The biggest concern the west has about tourism in dprk however is that it undermines the idea it is "closed" and that people know nothing about what is going on there.
North Korea gets a fair amount of tourists, just near-zero from America because America banned travel there for its citizens. If the WPK is saying it's a city for tourism and that's not just some made up term like the "propaganda city" is, it will probably be mostly tourists, diplomats, and domestic bureaucrats, and capitalists rather than common citizens, but I suppose we don't know and there's a good chance they'll be doing some sort of subsidy thing for at least part of it.

every week 20,000 people will be forced to lounge at gunpoint! in the evenings they will be brutally entertained!
The lazy river... Of Death!
But also at what price?
Probably pretty reasonable. I'd be down to go if I coudl afford to.
Every time I see a picture of North Korea I'm left stunned by how much nicer the landscape is to look at without advertising and sleaze covering every corner of the environment.
It feels like the moment a leafblower I'd stopped noticing outside suddenly turns off
Funnily enough that's actually one of the reasons so many people feel like there's something off in all the photos, or that it's all fake. Literally no context for what an industrial society without need for constant advertisement looks like.
It's kind of funny because people remark on there being heavy-handed propaganda everywhere, and they are kind of correct, but it's way less than the corporate advertising you see in the West and actually has an argument for mostly being for the public good.
If I could replace all corporate propaganda for propaganda that was reminding you to stay healthy and contribute to your community, I'd be happy

It's kind of scary realizing how conditioned we are to accept constant the noise of advertising
"place with many screens showing constant advertisements" describes multiple popular tourism locations
