Where’s the Guides?

In the announcement trailer for Planet Zoo, we see a guide talking to a group of guests over the giraffe habitat. However, said staff member is nowhere to be found in the beta or any other footage. So where are the guides?

o_O oh No! i cannot hire more staff i need the earned cash for foliage and stuff ;)
I did miss that guy in the trailer, but I am sure we will see lots of more features on Nov. 5th that did not make it into the beta
 
I would really love for there to be tour guides or talks (to be honest I think this should probably be another role for a keeper) BUT announcement trailers are generally just concepts and don't always reflect the end game especially at launch. I would be super happy but I am avoiding hype on this to avoid disappointment!
 
Could possibly come into the game at a later date like the security in planet coaster (don't tell breezerhog 😎) or as you say may just be delayed until launch? Hopefully the latter.

Im sure mascots will be in it. Tour guilds..Though it sounds like a cool concept, the crowd and staff are already getting stuck every where. Not enough single guests, and the blobs of groups, hang on each other. I dont know if they have different size groups planned for launch, since the beta was very limited and for testing things like pathing. I could see them putting in the entertainment posts, like there was in Planco. And, you could assign mascots and keepers to do "shows", which could earn education or happiness of the zoo.
 
This would be great. It could work like Planet Coaster's entertainer star podiums where instead you'd place platforms around habitats for your guides to stand on and talk to guests while giving out a good education score.
 
This would be nice. I made a thread few days ago where I have wished for commentated feeding and more purpose for the zookepers than just feeding and cleaning. But a guide tour would be cool as well.
 
A lot of the animal interaction was held back from the beta, so they probably held back some guest;animal stuff too.
 
I think guides would be excellent. We are all having issues increasing education scores, and as @Silhouette mentioned a planned route could help with pathing problems. Honestly, if it's planned, and finished enough to put into a gameplay demonstration, I can't see why they wouldn't add it at launch or a later date.
Entertainers would also be really cool. I'd love to see someone in a red panda costume dancing on an entertainer stage (I think they had stages in a ZT DLC [sorry Frontier for even more ZT comparisons]).
 
In the beta, when I clicked on an option in the staff room, it said "Entertainers".
I know their was a training option for increasing the amount of happiness they provided guests, and I can only imagine they'd think to add that for entertainers. Seeing as they had them in PlanCo, I'm pretty confident they wouldn't exclude them.
 
i am very sure that there will be guides or generally more stuff for education.
Otherwise i can not explain, that I haven´t noticed ANY player on youtube having more than 3 stars for education, although they placed a lot of screens/ speakers etc.
 
The trailer was a concept announcement. They often contain stuff that never makes it in game. Hopefully they will be able to revisit it eventually.
