Tourists photograph one another on the remains of a merry-go-round in the ghost town of Pripyat not far from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant on Aug. 19, 2017 in Pripyat, Ukraine. (CNN) - The Chernobyl nuclear power plant has seen a huge increase in visitor numbers in recent years as part of a growing global interest in dark tourism. And now, intrepid travelers be able to get inside the control room where the world's worst nuclear accident unfolded, Chernobyl tour companies confirmed to CNN. Those who venture inside the highly radioactive area at the infamous Reactor 4 will be provided with white protective suits, helmets and masks for the brief visits. Chernobyl once sat at the centre of a 1,000-square-mile exclusion zone implemented after the 1986 catastrophe, but much of the area has been open to tourists since 2011.

"Fleabag," "Chernobyl," and "Game of Thrones" were among the big winners at the 71st Primetime Emmy Awards.

"Dark tourism" is a term or phrase that is beginning to get used more frequently. Chernobyl is the latest in a popularity surge in dark tourism, but many have no idea what to expect when visiting this hot spot. Chernobyl Power PlantSome tours offer the explorer a chance to access the Chernobyl Power Plant, where it all began. Visitors can hear how they survived the Chernobyl disaster and the impact it has had on their lives. Chernobyl is quickly becoming one of the most popular dark tourism destinations.

(CNN) - Chernobyl, the site of the world's worst nuclear disaster which resulted in thousands of deaths, is to become an official tourist attraction, Ukraine's president has announced. Once at the center of a 1,000-square-mile exclusion zone, Chernobyl has seen a sharp rise in visitors since an HBO mini-series about the tragedy aired earlier this year. On April 26 1986, a reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant exploded, forcing a region-wide evacuation and sending radioactive fallout billowing across Europe. For more than two decades, authorities maintained the exclusion zone around the reactor, including the city of Pripyat, once home to 50,000 people. While travelers are currently permitted to visit Chernobyl with a guide, there is no official Ukrainian law in place authorizing tourism in the exclusion zone.

But the morals and pitfalls of dark tourism, and what constitutes acceptable behavior in such places, are becoming murkier in the social media age. As international tourism skyrockets -- in 2018, there were 1.4 billion international tourist arrivals -- interest in dark tourism is also escalating. "It's not as new as it may seem," says Peter Hohenhaus, who chronicles his experiences visiting dark tourism sites on his website, Dark-Tourism.com. Stone, of the Institute for Dark Tourism Research, goes as far as to say there's "no such thing as dark tourists." Pompeii, for example, may feel like a more "acceptable" dark tourism site, because the disaster occurred so long ago.
