Training guides for the Chornobyl Zone.

In 2014, 8 thousand people visited the Chornobyl Zone. In 2019 - 124 thousand. Fifteen times more in five years. There was a desperate shortage of guides, so in the summer of 2019 we started training candidates at Chornobyl HUB.

People often say the Zone was "discovered" by the HBO series. We disagree: Chornobyl tourism was growing before it, and the series added only about 15% to that year's forecast.

Later the training took on an academic form. The Drahomanov National Pedagogical University and Sergii Mirnyi's Chornobyl University developed an online basic training course for guides of the Chornobyl Zone. Yaroslav Yemelianenko was among its authors. Several dozen people completed the course, including one foreigner - from Poland.

And in the spring of 2021 we gave guides a free tour of the Chornobyl. Journey exhibition at VDNH.
