North Korea Tour Updates 2025
21st November 2024 – We would like to inform you that YPT has removed our 2024, 2025, and 2026 North Korea tours from our website. This decision is not due to any cancellations, but rather a response to anticipated changes in tourism within the country.
Why Have 2025 2026 North Korea Tours Been Removed?
The removal of these tours is based on guidance from our local partners in the DPRK, who have informed us of significant upcoming changes to the country’s tourism landscape. These changes include the closure of certain destinations for tourism and the introduction of new sites for visitors.
Given these developments, our existing itineraries no longer align with the offerings that will be available when tourism resumes, expected in April 2025 (possibly as early as the Pyongyang Marathon event). As a result, we are temporarily removing these tours to ensure we only offer accurate and up-to-date itineraries. This has become an industry-wide practice, with other operators taking similar steps. Anyone advertising 2025 tours at this stage is, unfortunately, offering inaccurate information.
What Will 2025 North Korea Tours Look Like?
At present, we cannot provide complete details as negotiations with our partners are still ongoing. However, we can assure you that, as always, YPT will strive to offer the most innovative and diverse range of tours to the DPRK. We are also planning to operate tours during all major holidays, as well as throughout the year, on the previously scheduled dates.
What Information Will Be Available Soon?
We are committed to providing detailed and accurate information well in advance of any changes, whether that occurs in April or sooner. In the meantime, we can offer sample itineraries provided by our partners in DPR Korea. While the specifics of these tours are still being finalized, we will continue to monitor the situation and provide timely updates as soon as we have more clarity.
