Sorry.
“Present” is correct, not “preset”.

Hi Tara,
It is very interesting for me that North Korea is working on expanding tourism because I thought before that North Korea has closed all its doors on the world.
In my opinion, tourism can help to expand cultural relations among people of countries. Tourism can also create friendship among people of countries.
I have a suggestion:
If you preset some subjects about tourism and tourist attractions in countries of the world, you will certainly help to improve tourism in the world too.Thanks a lot and all the best.
Bijan from the Persian gulf wishes you happiness and love,
