Empresas relacionadas con la oferta turística complementaria vinculada al lugar de destinación y a las actividades de turismo temático.

I assume it means anything used by tourists that's not hotels, camp sites (I nearly said "campings" then!), B&Bs etc... Although I could easily translate it in a way that it could be understood correctly, I was wondering whether there is a precise term used in English for this concept. I haven't managed to come across one.

complimentary tourist offer


Explanation:
I would leave it as it is, Timothy. It's self-explanatory in my opinion, meaning any optional (not pre-paid)activity for the tourist.

oferta turística complementaria
other/additional attractions and amenities/facilities


Explanation:
based on what your term may cover (see 1st link), perhaps amenities or facilities on their own is not quite enough to describe what may be involved
