Abstract
The cooperative tourism project between South Korea and North had been an icon of the promotion of peace. However, the North Korean soldier’s shooting on a female Korean tourist in 2008 suspended the project that shuttled Korean tourists to Mt. Kumgang resort in North. After such an incident, Kim Jong-un has taken his office, attempting attacks on South Korean territories and conducting nuclear weapon experiments. Consequently, all cooperative projects have been suspended. However, some scholars said that tourism is still a very powerful mean to promote peace between divided nations. The aim of this research is to provide a theoretical framework for facilitating tourism development in North Korea and difficulties by conducting an in-depth interview with visitors to North Korea.
