Nearly 73.1 thousand tourists visited the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone in Ukraine in 2021. In the previous year, the visitor count sharply fell due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The tourist flow peaked at over 124.4 thousand visitors in 2019, when the interest in the area was sparked by the HBO miniseries about the Chernobyl disaster. In 1986, an accident at one of the reactors at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant resulted in major radioactive contamination in the area near Pripyat, back then located in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.
