North Korea wants to revive tourism

North Korea plans to resume international tourism from December this year. However, only the city of Samjiyon in the northern province of Ryanggang is scheduled to open to tourists. Because Samjiyon is a city that has been turned into a tourist destination in 2019.

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea became the first country to close its borders due to the coronavirus in January 2020, and has remained closed to tourists and foreigners for four years since then.
