Chester Zoo Chester Zoo Headline News 2018

Guess the council realise how important the zoo is for the area, jobs, tourists, supply chain. Bet a hotel would have no problem getting approved now, if the zoo wished for one. (On the coach park would be ideal, over looking the grassland area)

Anyone remember when was the last thing not approved by the council (aside from various iterations of a hotel)?

I assume that there are informal discussions before final plans are submitted. Both the zoo and the council benefit from co-operation within the proper formal process.

Seems to me Chester is the one Zoo in the UK that actually needs a hotel now- it was big before but with the addition of Islands now, for average families (not single fast walkers like me;)) I can't see them getting to see everything there in one day anymore...
 
I would Chester to have a hotel but I have this feeling in the coming years we will see some of the areas around the especially the older areas being turned in to play areas or amusement areas hope this doesn't happen but it would bring in more revenue for the zoo.

A hotel at / very near to a zoo or any other major tourist attraction makes perfect sense. Just look at how successful the Holiday Inn which shares a car park with Edinburgh Zoo is.

Plus add quality conference facilities and would add to the income.
 
1:0 Black rhino born to Malindi, does anyone know if Embu (Magadi x Zuri) is still there and are there plans to move him on ?

They hatched at the end of June and start of July, and were hand-reared by the amazingly dedicated bird team based in the Tropical Realm. They've now been moved to a larger area alongside the red pandas. None will stay in the collection (their destination was decided prior to rearing them).

The footage from Granada - or the zoo's marketing team - is a bit misleading as they're not on the pond for visitors to see, and as far as I'm aware never have been.
