Visiting North Korea Soon?

Personally I'm not exactly planning on visiting the DPRK any time soon, but if you're an adventurous traveler looking for someplace new to go, North Korea is the place for you, and theres an app for that! On wednesday the NKNews founder, Chad O'Carroll, and Uniquely Travel team came out with the North Korea Travel App. This app is 99 cents and gives the user images of luxury spots in North Korea such as - hot springs, hotels, and an 18-hole golf course. There is also a GPS map of other travel destinations within N. Korea. There is also a virtual tour if you don't actually plan on visiting North Korea, but if you do the app comes standard with an itinerary builder.
I'm very skeptical about this because North Korea is a communist country, they have millions of starving citizens, they have missile programs that are very secretive, and their social views are very different from anywhere else in the world.
The DPRK is very isolated form the world, and they keep it this way by not allowing their citizens to leave, and not letting outsiders in. With this app, and if travel to north Korea actually becomes something that any traveler could do then what will happen to their isolation? Will they open up to the rest of the world? The sanctions placed on the North will have to be loosened up if they are allowing travelers into the secret state.
The sanctions on North Korea are to try and get them to give up there nuclear arsenal. However, because they are already so isolated from the rest of the world the sanctions do not bother them. This travel to DPRK might act as an act of kindness and maybe thats all the North really needed, a hug. "We believe strongly in the value of not isolating a place that is criticized for its isolations tendencies." said Simon Cockerell, who has visited the DPRK a multitude of times and wrote the app's 'insider tips'.
