Tours to N. Korean border town now possible via two companies

Despite development, American tourists prohibited from visiting

North Korea has allowed foreign tourists from a second Western travel agency to stay overnight in the border town of Sinuiju, the Washington D.C. based Radio Free Asia (RFA) reported last Tuesday.

Young Pioneer Tours (YPT), a China based company that specializes in tours to North Korea, told RFA last week that tourists would now be able to stay overnight in Sinuiju, to have a better chance of seeing what daily life is like on North Korea's border with China.
