Public holiday (US) or Bank holiday (UK)
Explanation:
Parece que un "feriado con fines turísticos" es un día no laborable que se suma "para preceder o suceder a las tradicionales fechas conmemorativas, en las que tampoco se trabajará". Normalmente se usa para crear un fin de semana larga, para promover la actividad turística. https://www.infobae.com/sociedad/2023/12/29/el-gobierno-defi...

Si lo que quieres comunicar es que es un día no laborable, yo sugiero "public holiday" para inglés US o "bank holiday" para inglés UK.

Si crees que es importante incluir el concepto específico de "con fines turísticos," podrías dejar una explicación, por ejemplo: *these public holidays have been added to create long weekends and promote tourism
