The commemorations of the 50th Anniversary of the Korean War continue along the peninsula, while tours to the DMZ and other historic places of the last vestiges of the Korean War attract many visitors. Whether you join the wave of the first international visitors to North Korea in recent years, or merely reflect on the great developments of the country since the war, you will join in celebrating peace and harmony for all people. These are but a sampling of the thousands of reasons to visit Korea. We hope that you will include us in your plans for 2001. Visits to Korea are included in many international tours to Asia, or may often be added as a city stay extension to other tours.
