The construction of the Yombunjin Hotel began in July 2011 in hearty response to the teachings given by leader Kim Jong Il on several occasions to successfully build a hotel in Yombunjin with clean sea waters and good white sandy shore.

The building of main structures has been finished and the interior building phase is underway.

The Supreme Leader referred to the fact that the plastering of the inside hotel has not yet been finished though six years passed since the completion of its frame project.

He called for taking a decisive measure to quickly complete the construction, saying that although leader Kim Jong Il chose the site of the hotel in the picturesque Yombunjin shore and paid attention to the construction till the last moments of his life while learning about it at any time, the project has not yet been finished and that it is a very mistake to delay the construction at a time when the entire Party is concentrating all its efforts on implementing the behests of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il while taking it as the main line and as lifeline.

He indicated the construction orientation and ways to turn the Yombunjin area into a wonderful resort for the people, saying that the Party will take a step for supplying funds and materials and the North Hamgyong Provincial Party Committee should encourage the officials and builders of the province to the campaign for implementing the behests of the leader so as to build the hotel by Oct. 10 next year and make a report of loyalty to Kim Jong Il.

Saying that Yombunjin is an ideal place for the people to take cultural rest anytime as its seashore scene is unusually beautiful and it has good traffic conditions as it is located near railways, shipping lane and roads, he stressed the need to turn the area into the Yombunjin coast park of peculiar style by building more lodging quarters and service facilities of various forms and purposes in the section of more than 600 meters along the shore around the hotel.

Pointing out that the ground design for exterior of the hotel is not good and its accommodation capacity is small, he gave instructions for the central and provincial designing forces to make an overall examination of the design and redesign it in keeping with modern tastes from a new angle with their concerted efforts.

Saying that he will send professional technical forces of national institutions to help the province conduct the finishing construction of the hotel with its own efforts, he stressed that the province should strengthen and develop its designing and building forces in this course.

He said that if modern hotels with adequate communal amenities are built in Yombunjin and its vicinity as there are scenic spots and famous hot springs, the people in the province and other people from across the country would take enough rest and lead a cultural and emotional life to the full while enjoying mountain-climbing, sea-bathing, angling, river-fishing and hot-spring cure in the area.

He was accompanied by Hwang Pyong So, Jo Yong Won, O Il Jong and Kim Yong Su, senior officials of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea.
