Tour group operators say the North Korean city of Rason has been closed to foreign visitors, following a recent trip there by 13 international tourists.
North Korea has suspended foreign tourism to the border city of Rason, weeks after allowing a group of international travellers to enter the nation for the first time in five years, according to tour companies.
This week, two Western tour operators — Koryo Tours and Young Pioneer Tours (YPT) — and China-based KTG Tours announced the suspension of trips to the hermit state.
“Just received news from our Korean partners that Rason is closed to everyone. We will keep you posted,” KTG Tours, which specialises in North Korean travel, said on Facebook.
