Chernobyl, New tourist corridor
Visiting the exclusion zone around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is fashionable. There happened the largest and most serious nuclear accident on the planet. Succeeded in 1986, it is now more fashionable
never. that’s because of the diffusion of the HBO series, Chernobyl.
Vladimir Zelenky, President of Ukraine, will create by decree a Green Safe corridor for Tourist. On the other hand it also has the purpose of showing in a real way and with scientific, environmental and historical base what happened on April 26, 1986 in the nuclear power plant.
This decree is due to the fact that the increase in tourist demand (over-tourism) increases the supply of operators. Which are not always legal or safe.
It was also indicated that the aim is to end corruption in the disaster zone. In that area, guards and security forces receive bribes from tourists. They also carry out illegal metal shipments and take advantage of the area’s natural resources.
The Exclusion zone.
Mr Zelenky assured that the area will “become a scientific and tourist zone, symbol of the new freedom of Ukraine without corruption or prohibitions, but with investments and future”.
Currently there are several tours of one or two days in several languages in the exclusion zone. The visit to the abandoned city of Pripyat is included. This city is a few kilometers from reactor No. 4 of Chernobyl. As there is still high radiation dangerous to human health, it is convenient to hire specialized guides
The popularity of this type of black tourism has caused a certain lack of control in the area, which has been filled with unofficial tours or with the relevant security measures.
We recommend making the hiring in legal and recognized agencies
