Despite the continuing interest in visiting these trouble spots, the House Foreign Affairs Committee is at work on a bipartisan bill that would close off tourism to North Korea for Americans. “We’re reviewing policy on Americans traveling to North Korea, but currently all of our tours are operating as scheduled. Uri offers tours to North Korea and another Lee-run company, Before Travel, runs trips to unusual destinations such as Bhutan and Tibet. Lupine Tours, based in Wigham, U.K., also has not changed its North Korea policy since Warmbier’s well-publicized death. “Our current stance is we’re happy to take groups to North Korea where there’s a group leader, but not on a private tour,” Finnerty says.
