The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) has launched a website (www.dprktoday.com) providing detailed information including travel agencies, flights, hotels and tourist sites to attract more foreign tourists. 

Since last year the DPRK has built many attractions including Munsu water park in the east of the capital Pyongyang, Masik Pass Ski Resort in Kangwon province and a luxury horse-riding club.

The country has also decided to build an international tourist zone in Wonsan and Mount Kumgang to attract foreign investments.
