Why can't North Korea travel be popular?

When it comes to North Korea, everyone will be familiar with it. It is a relatively poor neighboring country. It is not only one of the least developed countries in the world, but also a country with strong vigilance. For any inbound tourists, it will enjoy a special service, that is, it will send people to "personally escort", which will make many people feel that there is no concept of free travel in North Korea. Let's see why North Korea's tourism is not popular.

In fact, the budget is the most important thing for tourists, and traveling in North Korea is nothing more than six main factors: food, shelter, transportation, travel, shopping and entertainment, plus visas and various tips, which should be included in the total cost.

Next, let's look at the tour group, and you will understand why North Korea's tourism is not popular. At present, there are three main options for traveling to North Korea. Ordinary tour group: 3500-6000 RMB/person, which is relatively cheap, but there is a tour guide service throughout the journey, and the scenic spots are all fixed trips and routes, and you have to enter various souvenir shops; Next, it is relatively free, and the cost ranges from 8500- 1. 1 ten thousand yuan. This kind of group can play around with the guide, as long as it returns to the hotel on time to punch in; The third way is just heard, and I have never seen anyone play it like this. Customized tour: 20,000-30,000 RMB. It is said that you can also form a group alone, and there are special vehicles and special tour guide services throughout the journey (or you can't escape the tour guide), so many people will choose the second method.

Besides, shops outside the Regulations on Tourist Guides basically don't accept foreigners, so 30 yuan is enough for a day in the shops. It costs about 6.5438+0.2 million RMB to come to such an underdeveloped country, which makes many people regret it after going.
