A travel firm is running trips to war-torn Ukraine in an attempt to display how the country is continuing with its daily life despite the conflict with Russia. More than 200 trips have been booked since the company was set up, according to bosses.
“Visit Ukraine begins work on the launch of dark tourism in Ukraine,” says the website. Tours are typically comprised of about 10 people led by a guide and take about 3-4 hours, and the visits involve "guides, tourism experts, and memory specialists so that tourists can see what happened in Ukraine".
“Brave City” tours would include visits to Cherniv, Bucha and Irpin, all of them affected by the war. Many of the bookings are believed to originate from the USA.
