Marketing - Tourism & Travel
English term or phrase: grey pound
Termenul mai vechi de "grey pound", cliseu al industriei publicitare, incepand cu 1970, a fost rafinat astazi in:
'''the pink pound (free-spending gay shoppers), the green pound (eco-consumers) and the recently-identified brown pound (ethnic minorities have money, marketers have discovered).
Dar cum am traduce acesti termeni in contextul analizei extinderii unor piete turistice (de ex cea a ambarcatiilor de agrement) ?

neutral  lucca: Pe linia asta, cu "clientela", un şir de 4 metafore cel puţin interesante se transformă în 4 banalităţi. Indiferent de restul contextului, textul nu pare a se adresa unei clientele de academicieni ;-) ci, să zicem, uneia de "new money". Grey money e idiom
