Our Mission




Here at Visit North Korea, our goal is to organise and promote educational themed itineraries and opportunities to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea or "DPRK". A subject which is deeply misunderstood to the outside world, our project involves helping students and Young Professionals gauge a greater knowledge, awareness and objective understanding of this country in ways that can prove beneficial to them.

Rather than creating simple "sightseeing" trips to the country, our programs are designed with careful attention to detail, quality, educational experience and human interaction. We work to utilize some of the best regional expertise possible in order to build a pathway for students who seek careers in International Relations, Diplomacy, Area Studies and other portfolios. Our packages are both insightful, productive and nonetheless, fun. 

We believe in engagement with North Korea as the primary route to peace, cooperation and good will. Whilst such a strategy does not mean we "endorse" the regime or its activities, what it does mean is that we believe the present pathway of vilifying, mocking and threatening the country has failed to achieve any meaningful results. Dialogue must take preference over confrontation.
