    How though? They barely let in a small handful of people with guided tours only.

    I doubt they would be alright with hundreds of thousands of people wandering around Pyongyang or the country in general. You can’t keep all those people in one place.

      The practical implementation is something i’m sure they can figure out. They are smart, creative people, they will find ways if they want to. They can relax restrictions temporarily, maybe just in a closed off region, or maybe even on the whole of Pyongyang, it’s a beautiful city from what i can see and it would not be a bad thing to have visitors walking about. The bigger obstacle is probably that the DPRK really has no interest in this kind of PR exercise, and that’s what it would mostly be, a very costly PR campaign. It would be up to them to decide if the risk/cost vs reward is worth it.
