Latest update on Arirang Festival

The Arirang Festival' s opening ceremony has taken place at the May Day
Stadium in Pyongyang on August 15, 2005. Celebrating the 60th anniversary of
Korea's Liberation from Japan, the present DPRK leader, Kim Jong Il, was
present at the ceremony.

Although we were originally informed that the Arirang Festival would
continue until October 31, the latest information from Pyongyang tells us
that the Festival will end two weeks prior to this date - on October 17.

For that reason, people wishing to join our last group tour in late October
will not be able to attend the Arirang Festival. We are making some changes
to remedy this. Please note that our last Arirang tour will be held from
October 8 until October 15. The deadline for applications is September 2,
2005.

Thank you for visiting our website.

A few weeks ago Koreakonsult announced about a special tour for journalists between July 19-23, 2005. Thank you all who applied for this tour, but unfortunately we got a sudden request from North Korean Tourism Administration to cancel the tour and stop all the arrangements.

We are really sorry for all this and apologize if this fact caused you any troubles. If you don't mind, we will keep your e-mail address and will contact you in case another possibility to visit the DPRK will occur in the future.

Best regards,
