Portuguese term or phrase: Aldeamento Turístico

definição: meio complementar de alojamento turístico constituído por um conjunto de instalações funcionalmente independentes e arquitectonicamente homogéneas, implantadas num espaço delimitado

That is the legal definition. Equivalent EN term: Tourist/touristic village? I don't like it.
