Tourism & Travel
Spanish term or phrase: interés turístico
Context:
"El golf para nosotros no es solo un deporte, sino que aporta un gran valor económico a la principal industria de Andalucía, que es el turismo. Medio millón de los turistas que nos visitan al año, lo hacen para jugar al golf. Es importante que todos hagamos un esfuerzo porque este torneo y este deporte tengan futuro. En este sentido, Andalucía es la única comunidad que cuenta con un decreto ley que reconoce el ***interés turístico*** de las instalaciones deportivas relacionadas con este deporte, que es el futuro de nuestra tierra."

I'm not sure about "tourist interest" in this context.

tourist appeal


Explanation:
Yes, 'tourist interest' would be too literal, so how about 'tourist appeal'?

neutral  AllegroTrans: I think this is too opinion loaded for an official document (it can have a tourism "value" without appealing to a swathe of the populace

  -> OK, but the impression I get from reading the extract is that the language is fairly promotional. For example, "que es el futuro de nuestra tierra" is itself fairly loaded. Therefore I don't think "tourist appeal" is at all out of place.
agree  Wendy Streitparth: I think this reflects the meaning pretty well.

importance to the tourist industry


Explanation:
In this context, tourist attraction and appeal are correct, but don't convey the importance to the tourist industry of the availability of these sports facilities.
