Trip to DPRK Is Popular among Europeans
Pyongyang, May 23 (KCNA) -- Dylan Harris, director of the Lupine Travel Agency in the United Kingdom, said trip to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is popular among Europeans.

Leading a tourist group to the DPRK, made up of Britons, Swiss, Americans and other nationals, he told KCNA:

"I came here for the first time five years ago. It gave me so many good experiences and my idea just after the first time was to come back and bring many more tourists. So my main aim for the future is to build my travel company and show what the DPRK has to offer, for the tourists from the West to see the true picture of the DPRK.

I think the way the Western media represent the DPRK is very bad. I don't agree with the way they represent the DPRK. So my aim is to bring people to the DPRK to change their opinion, to see the true picture of the DPRK, the way the people are very friendly people, very hospitable, just the culture rather than the lies they are told by the media, the Western media."

Dylan Harris said the group would visit Pyongyang, Mt. Myohyang, Panmunjom and other areas of the DPRK to get better understanding of its history and culture, adding that playing golf is also joyful.
