North Korea opens weird attraction to tourists - a sea cucumber farm Tourist will be able to visit North Korea as the first tour to the country which has been closed for more than five years, coincides with the late dictator Kim Jong-Il's birthday.
Foreign tour companies have been given permission to take international tourists to the city of Rason, in the far northeast of North Korea, to pay their respects to the late dictator.
“We will visit various factories, see a Taekwondo demonstration at the Rason Taekwondo School, and make a stop at the Golden Triangle Bank to learn about Rason’s unique economic system,” Koryo Tours said on its website.
The tours will coincide with February 16, the Day of the Shining Star as it is known in the country, - the birthday of Kim Jong-il, late father to the current supreme leader, Kim Jong-un.
Apart from countries such as China and Russia, who strongly support the country's regime, diplomats from other countries are rarely allowed to visit North Korea.
