In an attempt to promote tourism, the DPRK is reviving an old project.
It is a symbol of everything that has gone wrong in North Korea - the Ryugyong Hotel, also known as the “Hotel of Doom.” This 105-storey marvel of architecture was first begun in 1987, but due to economic issues, by 1992 construction on it was halted indefinitely. It still remains in the heart of North Korea’s capital, Pyongyang, a towering monument to economic failure in the proud country.
