Enterprise Reporting from the New York Times Travel Show

CHORNOBYL TOURISM IN THE EXHIBIT HALL

I was interested to discover that vendors in a booth in the exhibit hall Friday night were offering a tour of Chernobyl.

Sergii Mirnyi, cofounder and director on research and development for the Ukraine-based Chornobyl Tour, was present at the conference along with other representatives. (Mr. Mirnyi is not pictured in the images below).

Mirnyi explained that the venture was not intended to be satirical in nature.

The organizers of the show were kind enough to register me at the conference as press. I have written professionally on travel in the past (A Quick Peak, AT JOURNEYS, published by the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, July-August 2010), and I'd like to do more- because I have international flair.
