After nearly a year of trial runs with select tourist groups, North Korea has finally flung open its doors to Western travelers.
Today marks the launch of an eye-wateringly expensive five-day, four-night adventure to the mysterious Rason Special Economic Zone.
This development raises an intriguing question…
Why are domestic travel agencies maintaining such deafening silence about this groundbreaking opportunity?
The contrast couldn’t be more striking – while international tourists are lining up for this rare glimpse into the Hermit Kingdom, local agencies seem to be turning a blind eye to what could be the travel event of the season. What’s behind this puzzling lack of enthusiasm from the home front?
This is such a bizarre and unexpected development! I never thought North Korea would open up like this, especially for Western tourists. It’ll be interesting to see how these tours go and if they become more common in the future.
