N. Korea Resumes Domestic Flights As Tourism Jumps 20 Percent
Beat: News N. Korea resumes domestic flights as tourism jumps 20 percent -, 15.07.2014, 22:35 Time USPA News - North Korea has reopened some of its domestic flight routes for the first time in years after the number of foreign tourists arriving in the reclusive country jumped by 20 percent during the first six months of the year, representatives confirmed on Tuesday. Air Koryo, the country`s sole airline, said in an advertisement published by the state-owned newspaper Pyongyang Times that it will resume domestic flights from mid-July. "The flights will take local and foreign tourists and businesspeople to scenic attractions and economic development zones," the airline said. The advertisement said it will offer flights between the capital Pyongyang and Sondok Airport in South Hamgyong province on Mondays, flights between Pyongyang and Orang Airport near the city of Chongjin on Tuesdays, and flights between Pyongyang and Samjiyon Airport in Ryanggang province on Wednesdays. Chinese tour operator Young Pioneer Tours (YPT) said Air Koryo restarted the domestic flights on Monday. "Indicative of the changing face of tourism in North Korea, the availability of regular domestic flights is set to increase the opportunity to travel within the DPRK," the tour operator said, referring to North Korea by its official name, the Democratic People`s Republic of Korea. Foreigners previously had to charter aging Soviet-era aircraft to fly between cities, a journey which can take several days by rail or road. "Regular flights like this have not been scheduled before - at least not in the six years we`ve been doing this," said Troy Collings of Young Pioneer Tours. -
North Korea, the World's Most Secretive Country
NORTH KOREA, THE WORLD’S MOST SECRETIVE COUNTRY with Phil and Allie Dunnington 18 th - 29 th of August 2013 North Korea, or the People’s Democratic Republic of Korea (in short DPRK) is one of the least visited and secret countries on the planet. Phil and I went on a mind blowing 7 day trip to North Korea only 5 years ago. Every day was packed with new incredible visits of massive mausoleums and monuments but also beautiful ancient temples or tombs set in untouched landscape. Fascinating also our private escort to the DMZ (North/South Korean border) and our stay in a traditional wooden Korean house in the lovely town of Kaesong. So, I would like to offer you the chance to join me on a new route around the country on a private charter flight up to sacred Mt Paekdu – the birthplace of all the ‘dear leaders’. Mt Paekdu is a beautiful volcano with a crater lake inside and also the base camp for military actions during the Korean war. We are now also allowed to visit the harbour town of Chongjin and Wonsan, places that have just be opened for the first time ever to foreign visitors. Expect to experience something you could not compare with anywhere else in the world! As a final highlight we will visit the Mass Games in Pyongyang with over 100,000 participants celebrating the 60th anniversary of the end of the Korean War (which of course – according to the North Koreans – was won in great triumph by the DPRK!). Things are changing even in such a closely monitored country and with our visit we also contribute to gentle reforms within the country (more relaxed attitudes on photography, opening of new destinations, aid projects etc). -
