English translation:tourist attraction

Explanation:
Lehetne még tourist site, de az inkább helyszínre vonatkozik (de például egy eseményre nem túl szerencsés választás), illetve simán sight is, de feltételezem, hogy a tourist szót szeretnéd belevenni az anyagba, és hosszra is közelebb van a magyarhoz (azzal a feltételezéssel éltem, hogy egyféle prospektusszerű leírást készítesz, ahol a tördelés is fontos szempont).

The word "sight" refers to vision, whereas the word "site" refers to a place. You can say "The Grand Canyon is a touristic site", and you can also say "the sight of the Grand Canyon is spectacular". The two words are pronounced the same, but they have entirely different meanings, and because of this they are often confused and interchanged. This is often the case in the English language.
