North Korea has banned foreign tourists to guard against the spread of a new virus from China, tour operators in China have said.

Two other well-known North Korea tour operators based in China confirmed the border closure.

South Korea’s Unification Ministry, which handles relations with North Korea, said Wednesday it couldn’t confirm the border closure with China. Tourism has been one of the few legitimate sources of foreign currency for North Korea, which is under multiple rounds of U.N. sanctions over its nuclear program. The North has been building ski slopes, spas and other attractions to entice more tourists and revive its troubled economy.
