	a comparative German perspective
		Speaking to a Korean audience on issues regarding the North-South relations with references to Germany's unification it is difficult these days not to begin with the tenth anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin War.
		Coming to a conclusion: Compared to the German experience the Kumgangsan project is small regarding the quantity of exchanges and is hardly worth mentioning regarding the human contacts between North Korean and South Korean individuals.
		In the context of the Korean situation I consider the Kumgangsan project - and the Light Water Reactor project - to be of very great importance indeed, yes of historic significance.

		The (North) Korean Central News Agency, evaluating Kim Jong Il's five-year rule in 1999, cited the Kumgangsan Dam project as one of the five "amazing events" that took place in the period.

		The Mount Kumgang Dam construction was literally a "project of death." "An entire 40-plus company were buried in water while drilling an underground waterway," claimed Kim Chang-shik, who took part in the project as a rock driller for a few years beginning in 1995.

		However, whilst Kumgangsan is currently the major component of DPRK tourism, and even in the best of circumstances is likely to remain an important component, the real development of the tourism industry, if it is to happen, will take place on a much wider canvas, involving more of the country.

		Issues such as the state of military alert, the continued naming of the DPRK as the ‘main enemy’, joint military exercises with the United States, the testing of a new missile capable of striking virtually anywhere in the North, and so forth might reasonably be seen as inimical to the development of relations.
		What is less reasonable is the idea that cutting of the flow of tourists to Kumgangsan is an effective lever.
		The DPRK has long had modest inbound tourism but it was not until the beginning of the Kumgangsan venture in November 1998 that it moved into any form of mass tourism.
