The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS), the wildlife conservation charity behind Edinburgh Zoo and Highland Wildlife Park, has joined CTA.

The organisation welcomes the opportunity to build new partnerships, connect with coach operators and tour planners, and offer memorable group days out at two of Scotland’s most unique attractions.

This winter at Edinburgh Zoo will see the return of the Giant Lanterns trail. Launching in November 2025, the event will take visitors on an enchanting journey under the sea, combining light installations with storytelling that highlights the importance of marine conservation.

Eloise Mair, group and travel trade executive at RZSS, said: “We are thrilled to join the Coach Tourism Association at such an exciting time for our charity. Edinburgh Zoo and Highland Wildlife Park offer group experiences with a purpose – combining inspiring days out with the chance to support global conservation work. We look forward to connecting with more partners and welcoming new groups through our gates.”
