New staff types

I think it would be really cool to add "tour guides", a staff member you can hire and create a set tour for (I.E could set up flags or some other marker showing where to start a tour, which exhibits to visit and where to finish the tour). They could add to guest happiness and any guests following them would gain education. Being able to hire entertainers or just general educational staff who we could be assigned to exhibits / habitats would be great, they could be customised and wear animal outfits, guests could even give them tips. Anything that might give a boost to education instead of using hundreds of boards / speakers would make the game a lot more enjoyable for me and I'm sure many others!

Another idea could be vendors that walk around with little carts such as hotdogs or ice cream, shops are good but having little stands on pathways or carts that would walk around to where guests need them would add a whole new level to the game.

Tour guides
Getting 5 star education is easy. Same goes with the overall happiness. I agree, it would create a nicer overall zoo experience for some players.
The speakers are cheap and do their work great. I know, the guides gives it a much more personal touch.. It would work great in sandbox but franchise/challenge staff costs are already troublesome for people (or prefer the cheap speaker option).
Also I think it could conflict with existing educational circles.. If you assign a few habitats to a guide, and ithe guide circle enters a different unassigned circle - wouldn't that cause people to get upset?

Tbh, i never seen a tour guide in a zoo. Most zoos just have a map with the route planned out and information boards near an exhibit. And in some cases a speaker..

I like the idea for entertainers/educational staff wearing customized or animal clothing (or mascot).
I'd love to see a variation of this. For example: An entainer in a lion suit will tell people near the entrance about the lion exhibit in the back..

Vendors
I like the idea, especially when you made a mistake and don't have the space to add a shop near those exhibits.. At least you will be able to add a small carts to somewhat compensate for this.
