<human>: As a travel agent working for TanSuo Cultural Travel (a company that specialises in tours throughout China and Asia), I'm often in contact with travel bloggers and tourists who have either been to North Korea (the DPRK) or who want to go.

 

Our company does not provide tours to North Korea because we think it is unethical, but I'd be interested to see what the reddit community thinks.

 

A lot of travel bloggers who have been to NoKo argue that, if Westerners don't continue to visit the country, then our cultures will never intermingle and North Koreans will continue to believe in the hateful propaganda they receive regarding the West.

 

On the flip side, travelers like myself are firmly aware that all of the money goes to the corrupt regime and that the small slice of NoKo that tourists are allowed to see is completely non-representative of the country as a whole.

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: Do you think it's ethical to travel in North Korea? And why would you choose to travel/refuse to travel in NoKo?
