Your post seemed to infer that since North Korea gets several thousand tourists per month, that banning tourism was a wise decision for them. Wasn't that your point?
Kim also has (has always had) tourists confined to tour buses with minders watching their every move to keep them from interacting with locals and from taking unauthorized photos. You can also get arrested for leaving a bible in a hotel room. I doubt the Jung chum posters want that in the US.
North Korea gets 30,000-40,000 tourists per year - mostly Chinese, but some 3,000 or so Westerners too.
Yes, I know because I visited a few years ago. I wanted to see first hand the end result of liberalism gone mad... it's pretty scary stuff. But the bottom line is, hardly anyone (relative to other countries) visits North Korea in a year, so blocking tourism temporarily is pointless. I'm sure they'll resume it soon, because it's a source of hard currency for the regime.

That's not even remotely close to what my point was. I was responding to a poster who said that North Korea gets "dozens" of tourists. My point was to provide correct information in the face of false information.
