PARIS - A French publisher has produced a rare guide to North Korea, highlighting its history, cultural wealth and beautiful landscapes but advising tourists not to take the politically sensitive book with them.
Tourism is one of the few remaining reliable sources of foreign income for North Korea, after the U.N. imposed sanctions targeting 90 percent of its $3 billion annual exports including commodities, textiles and seafood. “There are a lot of people that are interested in this country be it for nuclear and military reasons, but also economically so ... it’s important to provide information,” said Dominique Auzias, president of the Petit Fute, which publishes some 800 guides.Some 400 French tourists visit the country each year with trips costing about 2,000 euros .Talks in June last year between U.S.
In some cases however they respond to requests and Auzias said the guide helps people decide what they would like to see.
