German term

Anlaufpunkt

German to English Marketing Marketing / Market Research Museum
In nur wenigen Monaten entstand eine feine, historisch ausdrucksvolle Ausstellung, die seither Besuchern aus aller Welt ein zentraler Anlaufspunkt bei Werksbesichtigungen ist.

Aus einer Broschüre über ein Werksmuseum. Das Museum wurde von einem ehemaligen Mitarbeiter der Firma gegründet und dem Satz geht ein Dank an diesen besonderen Mitarbeiter der Firma voran.

Ich habe ein paar Ideen, aber irgendwie klingen die alle ein wenig holprig.

My ideas was... In just a few months a fine, historic and expressive museum was built, which has since then been a plant tour highlight for visitors from around the world.

I like must see better though.

magnet for / has attracted visitors from across the globe

Both would definitely Google well in a museum context.

It'd be nice to hear some ideas from the Asker!

I see what you mean, i.e. highlight OF the tour

- a crucial part/element
- an unmissable part of the tour
