The number of South Koreans that visited North Korea last month decreased by more than 62 percent following the tourist shooting at the North’s Mount Geumgang resort.

The Unification Ministry said Monday that some 21-thousand South Koreans traveled to the communist state in July, down 62-point-two percent from June and down about 19 percent from the same period last year.

The total number of tourists to Mount Geumgang slipped nearly 78 percent from June while tourists to the border city of Gaeseong fell four-and-a-half percent to some 11-thousand last month.

Meanwhile, inter-Korean trade for July stood at some 181-million dollars. That’s down one-and-a-half percent from the same period last year and up more than 23 percent from June.
