Tourists will be able to visit Samjiyon at the end of 2024 after the country has been closed to tourists since 2020, at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
International flights to and from North Korea resumed in 2023 when a small group of Russian tourists flew there for a private tour in February.
However, the opening of borders in December this year is expected to rejuvenate the tourism sector in the country after four years.
