North Korea, which has banned foreign tourists from visiting the isolated country since last October due to fears over the spread of the deadly Ebola virus, will reopen its borders, a Beijing-based tour firm specializing in tours to the North said Monday.
North Korea's tourism officials told the Beijing-based Koryo Tours earlier in the day that there is "some movement" in the strict travel ban for foreign tourists and the company expects to confirm the North's plan to reopen the border.
