Abstract: Abstract The expectations of tourists/visitors and the operational parameters of tourism/attraction providers, along with intentions and constraints of both parties, create a complex mixture of challenges that could be alleviated and eventually bring about transition for a more viable future of zoos management with a CSR approach that draws on Humanistic Management principles. In order to argue this point an overview over the topic zoo management set within the context of current CSR and humanistic developments is necessary. In conjunction with human attitudes towards non-human captive animals, they provide the basis to answer the question if humans and zoo management are prepared to alter their approach to those animals to a more humanistic management.
