North Korea to reopen for tourism after five years

North Korea will reopen one city to foreign tourists in December after nearly five years of border closures due to the Covid pandemic.

At least two China-based tour operators have announced that tourists will soon be allowed to visit the mountainous northern city of Samjiyon.

Reclusive North Korea sealed itself off at the start of the pandemic in early 2020. It started to scale back restrictions only in the middle of last year.
