Cheap Flights to North Korea | Cheap Flights Finder

NORTH Korea is probably bottom of the list of potential tourist destinations, but that is the very reason to go there. Its fear of outsiders and totalitarian regime make it a unique place to visit.

Penetrating the world's most secretive – and bizarre ¬– tourist destinations holds a certain appeal, especially in trying to get under the skin of its despotic regime, which has been founded on a cult of personality.

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPKR) is probably the least democratic place on earth. The state controls almost every aspect of life and at the helm is the reclusive but fascinating leader Kim Jung Il. He is the supremo at the helm of the most militaristic nation on the planet, with the army having more than six million members. Amazingly, more than 25% of the country’s gross domestic product is spent on the armed forces.

Only about 1,500 Western travellers visit each year, so tourism is just another thing controlled by the state. Travellers must go as part of an organised tour and each group comes under the watchful eye of tour guides who accompany every move of the visitors.

Tourists should be careful not to insult or disrespect the regime or Kim Jong Il. The every move of visitors is carefully monitored; in fact paranoia is pointless. In North Korea you are actually being watched
