to be a big draw In the sentence below, extracted from an article, what does it mean 'a big draw' referred to tigers in zoos? Asked by the Today presenter, John Humphrys, whether it was cruel to keep tigers in zoos, Backshall said tigers were a big draw and helped to inspire visitors – particularly young people – about nature. Thanks in advance!

When a lot of people come to see a show we say the show "draws a crowd." We can also say the the show "attracts a crowd." Something that is very effective at drawing a crowd is "a big draw." Here are some examples of use. "We visited Yellowstone National Park last year. We saw a group of cars parked at the side of the road so we pulled off, too. There was a mother bear and cub on the hill nearby. Wildlife always draws a crowd." "The big draw at Yellowstone National Park is Old Faithful, a geyser that erupts every sixty to ninety minutes." "Yellowstone National Park draws over three million visitors per year, from all over the world."
