To get acquainted with Vladivostok want Russian tourists going on the first tour to the DPRK

The first group of Russian tourists, consisting of 100 people, was recruited for a trip to the DPRK. More than half of those who wish to visit the country of Juche are guests from different regions of Russia. The tour operator of the trip is Vladivostok company "Vostok Intour".

"Almost the whole country is represented: Moscow and Moscow region, St. Petersburg and Leningrad region, Kaliningrad, Ulyanovsk, Vladikavkaz, Perm, Ryazan, Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg, Far Eastern regions. Those who want a lot, are even forced to form a waiting list, the travel company explained.

It is worth noting that when forming such tours in the DPRK, Primorye can become a transit point for tourists from the western regions of the Russian Federation. It is already clear that they are ready to use the trip to the east of the country with maximum benefit.

Almost 55% of those who applied are residents of other regions of Russia. Leaving an application for a tour to the DPRK, they are simultaneously interested in a transfer, ask to book a hotel in the city, and also ask what we can see a couple of days before the trip or after it. They are interested in city tours, event events for a specific period, specify about visiting interesting places in the suburbs. Our tour company is ready to solve all these issues. There are plans to form an organized transfer to the airport. This will allow you to create a mood before the trip or, on the contrary, to enhance the impression when you return, showing that the eastern borders of the country are great, interesting, diverse, the tour operator said. The company also added that the next trips are planned, there are plans to implement various programs taking into account target audiences and seasonality. What will be the future of tours to the DPRK, it is difficult to predict. But at the moment Primorye is a transit point for those who are going to visit it. More than half of the participants of the first trip are residents of other regions of Russia. Someone needs to be met, put in a hotel. And here the seaside tourism business and the hospitality sector can offer their services: transfers, excursions, hotels, thereby emphasizing the hospitality of Primorye and creating comfortable conditions for tourists and reserved for the future when forming similar tours. This approach is the expansion of contacts, the creation of new and capacious programs for a short stay in the city, concluded the head of the Tourism Agency Arseniy Krepsky.
