Why does Johnson feel the Chernobyl region merits attention

Tim Johnson the journalist from CNBC documented his visit to the Chernobyl Region.

Johnson's article is a response to the debate about whether or not the Exclusion Zone is becoming over-commercialized.It is a popular opinion that this spike in interest to visit this historical landmark is being driven by pop culture.The use of the word "over-commercialization" seems to stem from the fact that the Chernobyl Region (Exclusion zone) ought to be a place of solemn reflection of the tragedy that can arise out of technology.It is safe to take the above position because Tim Johnson in the concluding paragraph stated metaphorically that he might not have absorbed dangerous radioactive substances but that he had absorbed stories and images that were equally disturbing.By covering the story, he was highlighting certain aspects of the history of Chernobyl that wasn't being spoken of in the media. For instance, it is estimated that over 200,000 lives were lost by that singular catastrophe.
