Zoo rebrand to encourage visitors
Jersey's Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust is to drop the name Jersey Zoo to try to get more people to visit.

The number of locals and holiday-makers visiting the site in Trinity has fallen year on year, which is being put down to a decline in tourism.

The trust said it hoped to attract more corporate sponsors and staging new events, including starting new funding schemes and introducing a new logo.

The Trust said it was also starting new marketing campaigns.

There are also plans to encourage more business-use of the site and build more open air enclosures, like the bird aviary.

Meanwhile, people in the south coast of England will be targeted in a new marketing campaign.

Trust director Mark Stanley Price said the trust was ready for a positive future.
