Remote Lands Launches Luxury Bespoke Vacations in North Korea, Optionally by Private Jet

NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
Remote Lands today announced their groundbreaking tailor-made holidays to North
Korea, optionally by private jet. For the first time ever, clients have the
opportunity to travel in style and comfort with private guides and
transportation to the Democratic People`s Republic of Korea (DPRK). They will be
able to experience this physically beautiful country that is largely closed off
to outsiders, and will be amongst the very few to enter one of the world`s most
fascinating destinations.

"We love learning first-hand about the cultures of the world`s most remote
places," said Catherine Heald, Co-Founder & CEO of Remote Lands. "We do not
engage in politics of any kind; we simply believe that tourism can promote peace
and understanding between peoples at a grassroots level. North Korea is one of
the most mind-blowing places I have ever been, and visiting the country is an
incredibly stimulating and enlightening experience that I can`t recommend highly
enough to our most intrepid clients."

Remote Lands (www.remotelands.com) will design customized itineraries that
originate at a five-star hotel in Beijing, and clients can fly either privately
or commercially into the capital city of Pyongyang. They can travel all over
North Korea from the gorgeous mountains in the north, where they can hike to
remote Buddhist temples, to the lovely beaches of the east to the DMZ on the
southern border with South Korea. They will visit awe-inspiring architecture and
monuments, and attend the dazzling Mass Games extravaganza with 100,000
synchronized performers/dancers/gymnasts, held every August and September. They
can also go off the beaten track and visit schools, hospitals, orphanages, farms
and factories and spend time with some of DPRK`s many warm and friendly people.

Accommodations are arranged in the best hotels available, with suites specially
enhanced by Remote Lands with European linens, feather pillows and duvets and
other exceptional amenities. Fine food and wine will be brought in, and the best
chefs will be on hand to create the most delicious Korean, Japanese, Chinese and
Continental cuisine. North Korea is not for everyone, but for those adventurous
few who have been almost everywhere else in the world, it is the last frontier
and a real eye-opener to witness in person.

Prices for a Remote Lands luxury bespoke holiday in North Korea/China start at
$1,000 per person per day. For more information and digital images, please visit
