So, what does North Korea really want? Does it want South Korea to be completely left out in the development of the tourist area?<br />According to analysts, for now, yes.<br />The regime wants to develop and run the tours independently.<br />We also have to remember how Kim Jong-un said that he'd welcome South Koreans to the resort after the area is developed into an international tourist destination.<br />So this means, the North wants South Koreans to come later as guests.<br />"Even though Mount Geumgang is very beautiful, unless there are tourists from South Korea, it'll be difficult for the North to get back its investment. In the long-term, it will be a loss that could even dry up the regime's finances. It's a dilemma for the North. Even though it wants to lead the tour business, without South Korea, it won't be able to see profits."<br />
