New Book Published About the Hotels of Pyongyang

It is pretty clear the Kim regime allowed this writer and photographer access to all 11 hotels in Pyongyang in an effort to draw more tourists. As I have always said people traveling to North Korea should realize all they are doing is helping to fund the Kim regime and all the bad things that come along with it:

For many visitors to North Korea, the sense of travelling back in time is nowhere more acute than when they first step into their hotel. The unique 1970s architecture and design of Pyongyang hotels have now been documented in a new book that presents a rare glimpse of North Korean culture, writes Julie Yoonnyung Lee of BBC Korean.

Tourist trips to North Korea are usually carefully choreographed by officials.

The country’s tourism industry is controlled by the state, and travellers are monitored by government minders. They are only allowed access to “approved” sites, which means they all follow the same itinerary.

But last spring, author James Scullin and photographer Nicole Reed from Australia spent five nights in the capital Pyongyang, visiting 11 international hotels. They have now published a book called Hotels of Pyongyang.
