Spotlight on partner Charlotte Howie, Chester Zoo

What did it feel like to be nominated and win you reward?

There are so many amazing people working in the group travel industry, so receiving a nomination was such an honour and I’m absolutely thrilled to have been voted as the winner. I love working at Chester Zoo and being able to provide a great day out for group bookers and it’s wonderful to have that acknowledged.

If you could visit any country in the world, where would you go?

I’d love to visit Argentina. It’s such a beautiful country with amazing natural landscapes and biodiversity as well as vibrant cities and a unique culture.

What is your favourite animal?

It’s hard to pick just one, but I think I’ll go with penguins. I see them most days when I’m at work and they always brighten up my day.

If you could have a celebrity as your best friend, who would it be?

Claudia Winkleman, she would be the best person to have a gossip with and she could give me lots of style tips … as well as the inside scoop on what’s going on in The Traitors!!

What is the best advice you ever received?

Always treat people with kindness

With more than 37,000 animals to discover and over 128 acres of stunning zoological gardens to explore, Chester Zoo is the most visited Zoo in the UK! It’s also a conservation and education charity committed to helping wildlife, and each ticket bought through a group booking enables their mission to help endangered species around the world to survive and thrive.

Chester Zoo welcomes groups of all sizes, whether you’re a family gathering, a coach trip, social group or corporate outing and offer plenty of reasons to visit, from encountering snow leopards Nubra and Yashin in their specially-designed Himalayan habitat to exploring the dense jungles of South East Asia in Monsoon Forest and witnessing flamingos in full flight in the Latin American Wetland Avery.
