German term or phrase: Erlebnisregion
In den Gesprächen vor Ort wurde häufig erwähnt, dass XX durchaus als „Initialzündung“ oder „Katalysator“ für die Weiterentwicklung der Region zur Erlebnisregion (mit vielseitigen Indoor-Attraktionen -> Saisonverlängerung) betrachtet wird. So stellte nach Angaben des Marketingleiters des Y der XX durchaus einen wichtigen Baustein in der Standortentscheidung für Z dar.

magnet for tourists
Explanation:

You could also call it a prime tourist region.

Magnet for celebs
Portugal's prime tourist region is home to a host of A-list celebrities - and within an hour of touching down at Faro airport I'd been given a seemingly endless run-down of who lives where.

But where's the "Erlebnis"? Erlebnis is a real buzzword in German. The idea behind "Erlebnis" of course is that there are many "attractions" and "activities" in the region. And what "attracts" better than a magnet? ;-)

Sorry to bombard you with idea, Jay. If the "Erlebnis" is recreational in nature, then you might go with "adventure region":

La Robella – Adventure Mountain in the Neuenburg Jura
The vacation and adventure region La Robella near Buttes in the Neuenburg Jura has its own train connection.
http://www.myswitzerland.com/en/offer-Travel_Gettingaround-C...


Visit the Goulburn-Murray Waters
This popular adventure region brings together water sports of all varieties.
http://www.breakloose.com.au/html/adventure_articles/regiona...

Or call it a "recreational region".

neutral  Lirka: sounds good but it fails to stress the activities...a magnet for tourists could also be a secluded island with no infrastructure
1 hr
  -> True, but within this particular context it's clear that we're not talking about a secluded island ... or a remote arctic settlement.
agree  Michele Johnson: Good. I wouldn't worry about the Erlebnis- part that much. When they refer to indoor attractions, I'm thinking indoor walking, arts & crafts for the kids, etc., not nec. high *adventure*
1 hr
  -> Papier-mache puppets? Decoupage, anyone? Balloons for the kids? Yup, the indoor activities might not include heart-stopping "adventures".

neutral  Lonnie Legg: I think we need to stick to region--as it sounds like we're dealing with a larger, more heterogenous geographic entity than a "resort".

Top (tourist) destination


Explanation:
I'd use something with destination, possibly "top tourist destination" depending on how often you use the word tourism in the rest.
