Where should you take your next vacation? CNN's Business 360 blog notes that North Korea is accepting tourists again after a winter hiatus. As long as you are not South Korean or a journalist, you should be able to get in as part of a tour group. One agency out of Beijing offers a four-day trip for $1,600, which includes visas and all the guides, food, lodging, and transport you'll need. Just make sure you don't lose that tour group.
Only about 3,000 foreign tourists stepped foot into North Korea in 2011, says CNN, although the number of applications to visit has spiked since the death in December of Kim Jong Il. And who knows, maybe you'll get to see new leader Kim Jong Un strutting around on a horse.
