North Korea is entirely created around propaganda. These tourist routes are designed to trick ignorant people, like so many in the comments, into thinking N. Korea is great, it's civilized, it's developed, but the reality is that its a horrific place of misery, starvation, poverty and death. This is documented, this is fact, nobody can make the case that North Korea is actually not so bad.

i think there is quiet a lot of little things being ignored in the comment section, people saying it doesn't look that and or isn't that bad. Notice how the buses are packed, and notice how Louis and company are the only people eating at the restaurant, and how there are minimal cars on the road and housing that is clearly underdeveloped. North Korean Government is known for showing tourists minimal things and not showing them poor or deprived areas. Keeping is fun and glitsy instead of showing them the truth. Just bear that in mind.

And yes, I wonder how many tours to the U.S. include a trip to the homeless areas like Skid Row in DTLA or South Central, or to private prisons, mental institutions, etc.? It's all Beverly Hills, Hollywood Walk of Fame, etc. -- DPR Korea is no different.
