Industrial tourism


Explanation:
http://www.industrieeltoerisme.nl/english/welcome.html

Welcome ...Industrial tourism is a relatively new phenomenon in the Netherlands. But according to a report from the Department of Economic Affairs, a lot of people would be interested in looking behind the scenes of a business at least once a year.

industrial tourism


Explanation:


When touring a region, one of the things that is overlooked, is the Industry. Yet it gives an indication of the prosperity and diversity that is present in that area.


The type of Industry that Gippsland has to offer ranges from intensive agricultural and forrestry, to heavy power generation, gas and coal mining. Nowhere else in the world does a region offer such a diverse range of industries, and coupled with the regions interlectual capacity, has put Gippsland on the international map.
While in the region why not explore the Industry, discover for yourself why this area is so unique, how things operate and what keeps our world turning.


without more context it is a bit of a guess, but if you do a Goggle search with "industrial tourism" (as I did) you might be able to find out whether this English meaning applies to the context you are working in

industrial tours


Explanation:
I entirely agree with Daphne's interpretation above (industrial tourism). In your example, the author may be using the term to describe the actual tours of the site. The context of your document will tell you more, but in the latter case only, and I stress only, the author means "industrial tours."
