Visitor attraction - Definition and Overview

A Visitor attraction is a place that primarily, or as a side-effect of its main purpose, caters for visitors, be they tourists, day-trippers or those on an educational mission.

The term is now the preferred term in the UK for what was formerly called a Tourist attraction as this phrase became synonymous with "Tourist trap" indicating a certain tackiness of presentation and sometimes outrageous over-pricing.
