Hanover Adventure Zoo Receives Award

127 institutions entered the first innovation contest organised by the German Tourism Organisation (DTV). A short while ago, the Hanover Adventure Zoo received the special 2005 award in the category of “innovative tourism products.” The award statement describes the facility’s achievements as follows: “The jury chose the Hanover Adventure Zoo, because it is a success story that began in 1994 and has since transformed a conventional zoological garden into a world of adventure for all ages. The visitors’ spirit of adventure is kept alive by recurring explorations of the animal world. Customer orientation is exemplary in all areas and the business success is groundbreaking for other zoological gardens.” (eap)
