The purpose of this study is to determine alternatives to cooperate in the tourism infrastructure that can be promoted in the northeastern region of North Korea bordering China; in case the border closures of North Korea is lifted owing to the improvement in the COVID-19 conditions; allowing free travel and resolving North Korean nuclear issue. The conditions of the tourism infrastructure of the regions were examined in the areas of Mt. Baekdu-Samjiyeon; Cheongjin-Mt. Chilbo; and Rason. Subsequently; a written survey was conducted including Korean and Chinese experts who had visited in person; focusing on the fields where the tourism infrastructure required immediate improvement; by the area. Based on the results of the fact-finding analysis and survey; this study suggested the following implications to improve the tourism infrastructure in the northeastern regions of North Korea. First; North Korea’s tourism infrastructure development required cooperation focused on the “complementation and improvement of the institution” rather than pursuing cooperation focused only on the “development of the physical aspect.” Second; the tourism infrastructure must be improved by the regional conditions; on priority. Finally; the role of a promoter who could promote systematic development cooperation through the formation of the “Tumen River Tourism Council” was required; led by GTI; a regional multilateral consultative body that can systematically support the North Korean tourism infrastructure.
