tourism hub
Popular travel destination
A tourism hub is a place that serves as a central point for tourist activity in a region—where visitors gather, stay, and launch trips to surrounding attractions.
The term implies infrastructure: hotels, restaurants, tour operators, transportation connections.
Cusco is the tourism hub for travelers heading to Machu Picchu.
A hub may be a major destination itself or primarily a gateway to others.
