The territory of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant with the growth of extreme tourism has become known throughout the world. In November 2009, Forbes (USA) began to call the Chernobyl zone an exotic tourist destination on Earth.

 

At that time, about 10 tour companies of Kiev conducted trips to the Zone, they were in demand among Poles and Russians.
