You’ll never want to leave — and may not be able to.

North Korea launched a new tourism Web site this week — just before the US banned Americans from visiting following the death of imprisoned student Otto Warmbier.

“Today the tourist industry in the DPRK [North Korea] is developing afresh under the wise leadership of supreme leader Kim Jong-un,” reads the site, which clues foreigners into the North’s many ski resorts, beaches, festivals and historical hotspots.

Tourists can choose from a variety of “theme” vacations, including surfing, taekwondo, architecture and the ominous “labor tour,” where tourists participate in “rice-planting, weeding and fruit picking.”
