Tourism in North Korea, Nampho

Tourism in North Korea is tightly controlled by the North Korean government. All tourism is organized by one of several state-owned tourism bureaus, including Korea International Travel Company, Korean International Sports Travel Company, Korean International Taekwondo Tourism Company and Korean International Youth Travel Company. The majority of tourists are Chinese nationals: one 2019 estimate indicated that up to 120,000 Chinese tourists had visited North Korea in the previous year, compared to fewer than 5,000 from Western countries.
