Well this could actually be a good thing.  Presumably the NORKs think American tourism will create a more positive image for their beleaguered nation.  Although I think it more likely that exposure to Yanks in greater numbers might reveal to the populace the lie of propaganda regarding the American devils.

I’ve always (well since moving to the peninsula) had a perverse desire to see North Korea for myself.  It’s off limits for me of course, but after retirement, perhaps.  The problem I have is providing financial support to a corrupt, murderous and evil regime.  And that I might fail to refrain from calling it a corrupt, murderous and evil regime while visiting.

So maybe not.
