Spanish term
Es reseñable un factor bautizado por el sector como turismo prestado.
Spanish to English

Tourism & Travel
Hello,
My text is a tourism text and I have come across a sentence that I am struggling to translate and I would be grateful for some help.
Todo este optimismo viene marcado en gran medida por la recuperación del consumo interno de las familias que ya alcanzó tasas positivas en 2015, algo que no ocurría desde el inicio de la crisis, según constata un informe del Ministerio de Agricultura. Además de este hecho, es reseñable un factor bautizado por el sector como turismo prestado.
I am unsure of the meaning of the term "bautizado" in the sentence and what the sentence means in general.
Many thanks in advance,
Imogen

I am looking for the definition of "default tourism" to see if this might work. Not as in going to a country that has defaulted, but as a default or secondary destination since the original destination is not feasible.

: As far as I know, "turismo prestado" is a coined expression used in Spain and translated as "borrowed tourism" in English.

You could be right. On the other hand, I just did a Google search, and there are only 702 hits for "borrowed tourism" and more than a million for " services rendered by tourism," which leads me to believe it may be a literal translation into English.

Desde la llamada primavera árabe, aunque quizás por las funestas consecuencias que ha supuesto para estos países podría llamarse otoño islámico, se ha producido una importante redirección de los flujos turísticos. Además los últimos atentados sufridos en Francia y Bélgica que también han tenido un efecto negativo en el turismo de estos países.
Por lo tanto más que optimismo o satisfacción por la situación actual, debemos reconocer que estamos ante un turismo “prestado”.
Se estima que de los más de 70 millones de turistas que se esperan para este año, casi 4 millones serán turistas prestados.

: I've heard this term a lot here in Spain, and “borrowed tourism" is the go-to translation for me for now (never actually had to translate it). But I also think "borrowed tourism" is a bit lacking somehow.

Lorena, I didn't say so before, but I think it would be good if you posted it as an answer :) I've been trying to come up with an alternative, but I can't think of anything better, and although it is obviously a literal translation it is used in some reasonably good sources (in quotation marks).

It's the phenomenon of Spain's tourism receiving a boost from being seen as a safer alternative to destinations that are seen as potential terrorist trouble spots, now including France, to some extent, and certainly Turkey and Egypt, and are therefore avoided. So Spain receives tourists "borrowed" from their preferred destinations. I don't think there's an established English name for this in the tourism industry. So maybe you could use '"borrowed" tourism', putting "borrowed" in inverted commas. You could add an explanatory phrase, unless it's explained in what follows, in which case there's no need.
