There are only days left to vote for Wildheart Animal Sanctuary’s Zeb Fisher as the country’s tourism superstar!
Zeb has been shortlisted alongside 9 other finalists from across the UK in the VisitEngland Tourism Superstar 2025 competition.
Now in its 13th year, the national competition seeks out champions working in tourism who provide the most memorable experiences for visitors, as well as showcasing the variety and quality of England’s tourism offer and destinations.
The Isle of Wight has featured in the national competition before with winners including Red Funnel’s Jim O’Reilly in 2018 and Hovertravel’s Lorry Middleton in 2020, while Isle of Wight Ramblers were runners-up in 2024.
Lee Saudan, Head of Marketing at Wildheart Animal Sanctuary in Sandown, says:
“We are so incredibly proud of our Head of Learning and Discovery, Zeb Fisher for her selection as a finalist!
“Zeb has been a vital part of our team for almost 3 years, during which time she, together with her team, have grown and developed our education and group offering, bringing the animal world to life in a fun and engaging way for so many, whilst highlighting the plight that our animals face across the globe.
“For her to be recognised for all of her efforts in this way means the world to us, she is already a Superstar to us!”
Will Myles, Managing Director at Visit Isle of Wight, adds:
“It will be absolutely amazing when Zeb wins Tourism Superstar in 2025. Not only for the recognition of all the work that Zeb does at Wildheart Animal Sanctuary in engaging with visitors and in the wider community, but the added bonus of highlighting our Island as a fantastic visitor destination.
“I urge everyone to vote for Zeb to bring the VisitEngland Tourism Superstar award home!”
