This episode of Discover North Korea gets a bit deep (and I get a bit passionate) as I talk about a topic that is dear to me but also one that is full of controversy, scepticism, and sensitive topics. I attempt to lay out why I think tourism to North Korea CAN be ethical, and also take a look at why it is often seen as unethical and how it sometimes isn't. I tackle this topic by first busting some common North Korea myths, and then going onto some more important points on ethical tourism. At the end, I attempt (somewhat awkwardly) to tackle another topic that is also brought up during this tricky debate.Please note that all of the things said in this episode are opinions of my own (based upon facts and personal experiences) but do not necessarily reflect that of the North Korea tourism industry or Koryo Tours.Ethical Travel to North Korea YouTube video link: https://youtu.be/HPWrojqwa5gContact me with your questions & guest recommendations on zoediscovers@gmail.com.Follow me on;-> Instagram @zoediscoversnk for pictures, videos, and live sessions (when it's possible) from inside North Korea-> TikTok @zoediscovers for long and short-form videos inside North Korea-> YouTube @zoediscovers for vlogs inside North KoreaThis episode was made possible thanks to my amazing patrons.
