German term or phrase: Kausalitätsquote
Kausalitätsquote:

Es ist jedoch zu berücksichtigen, dass nur die kausal (ursächlich) auf den Ferienpark zurückzuführenden Gäste, auch den regionalökonomischen Effekten des XX zuzurechnen sind. Mit anderen Worten: Die Gäste, die die Untersuchungsregion in der YY auch ohne XX besucht hätten, dürfen nicht berücksichtigt werden.

visitor motivation ratio
Explanation:
I really don't think 'causation' or 'causality' is at all appropriate here. This is essentially about what motivates people to visit, so I would express it in some variant of the above.

neutral  Helen Shiner: I think we have to find the opposite of 'casual visitor rate' - not sure if it is 'intentional visitor rate' or something else, but perhaps someone will know./You misunderstand me. this is about the distinction between casual and intentional visitors
2 hrs
  -> not "cASually" but "cAUsally" was my suggestion. In the sense of: where the main/exclusive reason for the visits is/was the vacation/holiday park // I think I understand what you mean - your first comment however was not so clear.

agree  palilula (X): Term suggested by you makes good sense. I did not see a well stated definition of the terms offered on top.
12 mins
  -> Thank you, Petra
agree  Inge Meinzer
29 mins
  -> Thanks, Inge
neutral  Bernhard Sulzer: depends how close you want to stay to the German term which does imply "causality/a causal relationship between park and visits" , for when the park is the very reason for visiting the area. Parks don't usually cause or motivate people, they attract.
1 hr
  -> I'm not proposing that parks 'cause' people [to act in particular ways], I am trying to come up with a term that sounds appropriate in EN. This is about what motivates/attracts people to visit particular places.
agree  Veronika McLaren: I was thinking along those lines as well.
