Focus site 1: Chernobyl Chernobyl acts as the meeting point and the point of departure. Here the tourist changes vehicles from tourist bus to 4WD, thus reducing group sizes. The 4WD takes the tourist through the main threshold and into the 10km Exclusion Zone. Chernobyl is the existing administration hub of the Zone, and the design utilises this with all tourism situated here. The facilities include; the museum where the tourist can gain more in depth information of the Zone, accommodation for tourists who wish to spend more time in the Zone or take extended trips, and the development of future research centres.
