Amid anti-Ebola measures, North Korea to send delegates to Swiss tourism fair

North Korean presence at tourism fair comes amid ongoing anti-Ebola measures which prevent tourism taking place

North Korean tourist authorities will send two delegates to a Swiss vacation exposition this Thursday, despite ongoing anti-Ebola measures which currently prohibit tourism to North Korea.

Ri Yong Bom, the Korea International Travel Company's (KITC) Berlin-based head of tourism for Europe, will lead the delegation and be joined by a member of the North Korean embassy in Berne, organizers of the event told NK News by email last week.
