North Korea is currently making a rare road show in China’s northeastern province to lure Chinese tourists to the reclusive country, according to Yonhap News Agency.
Citing government officials of the Liaoning Province, Yonhap said a North Korean tourism delegation arrived in the province Monday, touring the cities including Dandong, Dalian and Shenyang, to promote the North’s tourism resources.
The rare tourism public relations is headed by Choi Chung-ho, tourism chief of the North Pyongan province of North Korea, it said.
North Korea also held a similar promotional event in September in Dalian.
North Korea’s rare enthusiastic tourism offense is seen to reflect its drive to secure more foreign currency in the aftermath of the termination of the Mount Geumgang tour program run by the South, a major foreign cash source previously.
