Abstract

The article focuses on the value of Mount Baekdu tours to North and South Korea. It notes that the mountain, which lies within the North, is a sacred place for Koreans, creating the potential for profitable tours. It also claims that the North Koreans consider the mountain as a birthplace of their socialist revolution. Further, it mentions the planned launch of a South Korean tour program which is postponed due to the program's lack of infrastructure and political considerations.
