drawcard
Crowd-pulling feature
A drawcard is something that attracts people or attention—a main attraction or selling point.
The term is primarily Australian and British: The festival's biggest drawcard was the headline act.
A star performer, special feature, or compelling offer can serve as a drawcard for an event or business.
