The last resort.

I tried to go, but had funny pictures of the vice supreme leader and wasn't allowed in the country.....
Kim Jong Un bets on tourism

Rank 165 of 167 democracy...
Rank 179 of 180 press freedom...
Let's book the tickets, honey. We are traveling to jail.
That just makes me wonder who they are beating in these rankings
180 / 180 Press freedom - Eritrea 🇪🇷
166 / 167 Democracy index - Myanmar 🇲🇲
167 / 167 Democracy index - Afghanistan 🇦🇫
Damn sad, those poor people
Don't mind me wrong, but looking at what Dubai is doing, I am not surprised Kim thinks people can forget about NK reality for a nice beach.
Hah! Good fucking point! Only thing I guess is that Dubai has a wonnnderful propaganda team winning over the hearts and minds of Western audiences, while NK has synchronized communist dancing events.
Fantastic news for ml! I'm sure they'll visit in droves.
Only a moron would want to visit North Korea where Kim Jung Un will have you killed for saying anything negative about him or the country.
My thoughts on the US
Not yet, but give it a year...
We’re there now. Im indigenous Central American but live in Canada. I have tattoos, and a ton of anti trump stuff on my phone. If I tried to enter the us I would immediately get hauled off and tossed in a gulag, back to a Central American shithole like where I started
I'd love to go there, and Iran, but I'm not stupid. The foreign culture would be amazing.
Wow, a vacation location I would like to visit even less than the US.
It will be a Trump hotel and MAGA nuts will go stay there.
Hope there aren't any flags or posters that can murder a poor tourist.
Anyone who goes there of their own free will should know that they could end up like Otto Warmbier at any time. No tears will be shed for them.
They are likely betting on Chinese/Russian tourists. No way Kim lays a finger on a PRC citizen.
What kind of fucking idiot builds a highway between the hotels and the beach?
Thats the fucking stupidest thing I have ever seen in my life. Who ever thought that was a good idea should be shot. It couldn't be in a worse place.
Can you imagine being this disconnected on the world perception about yourself and how you run your country? Crazy.
Kim was educated in Europe, not like he's clueless about the outside world. Also, there's such a thing as "poverty tourism". (I forget the word.)
Hear that conservatives?
You can visit the country you're trying to make our country look like.
You can get a good long look at what your dipshittery leads to. But only if you have the balls to leave the resort.
Interestingly, I've recently watched Real Life Lore's video on the topic. It's from 2 months ago and later in the video, it talks about the last batch of western foreigners that got in and how the regime almost immediately regretted letting them record and talk as much as they did.
There was also a S. Korean resort ran by Hyundai, from 1998 to 2008, which got shut down and nationalized after an incident had the N. Koreans shoot and kill Park Wang-ja, a 53 year old woman.
NK is a bad enough place to visit without worrying about everything. It’s the ultimate in mismanagement.
Management says it must happen, so it happens, or we tell them it’s happened. When someone gets hurt because it actually didn’t happen, there’s a cover up.
Some observers say this is an easy way for Pyongyang to earn money. While foreign tourists are allowed in, tour groups largely tend to come from China and Russia, countries with whom Pyongyang has long maintained friendly relations.
Does anyone even go to North Korea? Is that like a thing?
They do have a tourism industry, composed of ideological "true believers" (not that big of a group), tourists wanting to experience the unique culture out of curiosity (or - in the more recent years - also to produce social media content), and tourists interested in the unique architecture.
In the overwhelming amount of cases, it also goes well enough, because it is a welcome avenue to get foreign currency for them, and despite what some may believe, the state is still fully within the dynamics of capital accumulation. (Other examples are: contractors in construction, where they have unique know-how in monumental constructions, which is also one of the places where the exploitation of their populace as wage labourers can become visible to the outside world - and selling stamps and other collectibles in demand for being "exotic" as they are from NK.)
But then, every now and again, you have cases like Otto Warmbier.
Imagine how silent and unpolluted NK is, ngl it would be a great vacation if not for the moral concerns
Damn, you're right. I wouldn't want to vacation anywhere that has a long history of atrocious civil rights abuses.
Books tickets to Florida
Ah yes, the new Mar-a-Lago. Fantastic. I'm sure Trump will be dying to golf there.
Just imagine all the opportunities for bankruptcy! The orange turd is getting turned on!
