From North Korea to Afghanistan: Leading international tourists down the path less travelled
Update: 2025-07-10
Description
North Korea’s dictator Kim Jong Un is trying to claim his country's stake in the multibillion-dollar global tourism industry by opening a brand-new beach resort. But not many foreign tourists will be able to take advantage of the new facilities, as the country has mostly been closed to visitors since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. Charles Pellegrin speaks to Simon Cockerell, the general manager of Koryo Tours, a company that has been running tours in North Korea since 1993 and more recently in Afghanistan.
