young pioneer tours
in 2016, an american college student, otto warmbier, was arrested and sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment for allegedly removing a propaganda poster from a wall in his pyongyang hotel. at the time of his arrest, warmbier was traveling with china-based tour operator young pioneer tours (ypt) on a five-day tour of north korea. he was later released and returned to the u.s. in a coma, which led to his death on 19 june 2017. as a result, ypt announced it would no longer take u.s. citizens to north korea as the risk was "too high". other north korea tour companies announced they would also review their positions on accepting u.s citizens. in july 2017, the u.s. government announced that american citizens would no longer be permitted to visit north korea as tourists. the travel ban took effect on september 1, 2017.
