North Korea’s economy is not developed, but why does it cost a lot of money to travel to North Korea?

After visiting too many tourist countries and developed countries, many people want to experience a country with relatively slow development, so many people ask me how much money it may cost to travel to neighboring North Korea, you know is the exchange rate between the Chinese yuan and the North Korean currency. Currently, one yuan is equivalent to 141.7 Korean won. Using this conversion formula, we can convert the following consumption budget into RMB, but a trip to North Korea is not as cheap as imagined.

As we all know, North Korea is a less developed country and a very sensitive and vigilant country. Almost all foreigners entering North Korea require security personnel to check them. Therefore, completely free travel in North Korea is almost impossible. Travel agencies must first report to the delegation before entering North Korea, and the stay must not exceed 10 days. Therefore, the first expense for traveling to North Korea is a group signing fee of about 240 yuan. ?

Currently, there are three common charging plans for a 10-day trip to North Korea: Ordinary tour group: usually 5,000-6,000 yuan, which is not expensive, and there are guided tours throughout the journey, but most of them are duck driving tours The modes, attractions and routes are relatively fixed, and there are many shopping spots. There is also a free tour, which costs about 10,000 yuan. Such groups are relatively free. After the tour guide takes it to the attraction, it can be disbanded anywhere as long as he returns to the hotel on time. However, it is still a group tour and freedom is relative.

The other is called high-end customized tourism: about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. It is said that a person can form a group and go anywhere he wants. There was a special guide following him and a special bus to pick him up. He can choose not to go shopping, but he still needs the company of a tour guide, and only the tour guide's service is more important. All in all, traveling to North Korea costs at least 5,000 to 6,000 yuan. Of course, 5,000 to 6,000 yuan includes food and accommodation, but the conditions cannot be too many. ?

Then when traveling, you always want to buy some special products or other things, but you cannot go shopping in non-designated stores, and the locals will not receive you. After all, it costs several hundred dollars to buy some specialties, daily necessities, drinks, etc. At least 1,000 for ten days at most. The above is the minimum cost for your trip to North Korea. A ten-day trip, even on a frugal trip, will cost about 12,000 yuan, so bring at least 15,000 yuan with you. In fact, consumption in North Korea is not as low as expected, and judging from the profits of travel agencies, our minimum budget is not cheap either.
