Foreign tourists wishing to visit North Korea have received good news. For the first time in nearly five years, the country is set to reopen its doors to international visitors. The Kim government has decided to focus on the tourism sector and announced that foreign tourists will be allowed entry. According to various international media reports, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is prepared to revive tourism in the country.
A few weeks ago, some foreigners visited North Korea, and now, it appears that Kim’s government has taken this crucial decision to improve the country’s economic situation. The administration is aiming to boost the tourism sector and increase foreign currency reserves through international visitors.
With this decision, there is a possibility of a significant influx of tourists from countries like Canada, the UK, New Zealand, and China. North Korea had imposed a ban on tourism in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After all these years, the country is now allowing foreign visitors once again.
