North Korea to Reopen Borders to Tourists in December After Five Years, Starting with Samjiyon
Aug 14, 2024, 02:54 PM
North Korea is set to reopen its borders to international tourism in December, marking the first time in nearly five years that the country will allow foreign visitors. This decision follows years of strict COVID-19 border controls that began at the start of the pandemic. Initially, tourism will resume in the northeastern city of Samjiyon, with the possibility of expanding to the rest of the country. The reopening is seen as a rare opportunity for foreign tourists to visit North Korea after a prolonged period of isolation.
