North Korea as a tourist destination

  • sayadian

    With a new sucession announced it doesn't look like North Korea will be suddenly openning its doors to backpackers.
    Has anybody had a hankering for exploring this 'Socialist paradise'?

    I'm sure that was sarcastic but given the war history I'd expect you to be interested, Mac.

    Considering that I've avoided flag-waving, cap-wearing group tours in all my travels I don't know why anyone would be interested in going on a government sanctioned and minder led tour of a country.

    Oh Casey, I am sure the North Koreans are dying to open the flood gates to the tide of backpackers that want to come streaming into the countryside with no oversight... OK, maybe not.
