The economy of North Korea is centralized, autarkic and industrialized. There are only five socialite states in the world and among these five, only North Korea and Cuba are the two states with state-owned and Government-planned economy. The Tourism Organization manages the tourism of the country. It is true that the tourism sector has increased with the passing of years but not many visitors from the West visit the country. Most of the tourists who visit North Korea are from Japan, Russia and China. It is quite difficult for the citizens of South Korea and United States to get a tourist Visa for North Korea.
