Beijing-based travel agency offers tours to N. Korea for first time in five years

A Chinese travel agency is promoting tours to North Korea for the first time in five years.

On its website Beijing's Zixinghui travel agency is currently offering a 3-night 4-day trip to the Rason Special Economic Zone starting next Monday.

According to the agency "special approval" has been secured from North Korea for the first Chinese private group tours in five years.

Back in February last year a group of Russian tourists become the first foreign team of travelers to visit North Korea since the global pandemic.
