Environment & Ecology / turismo
Spanish term or phrase: equipación/ equipaciones
No se me ocurre cómo traducir este término que me imagino que hace referencia al conjunto de recursos y oferta turística de un lugar.

2) Un desigual desarrollo turístico en el territorio.
Fisterra recoge el boom del nuevo turismo jacobeo y de la valoración del paisaje y de la naturaleza, si bien aún no logró mejorar la apariencia de la mayoría de sus ***equipaciones***. En general, el resto de los territorios apenas se benefician de una actividad que, por lo demás, mira mucho hacia la costa y las playas, y se olvida casi totalmente del traspaís (excepto algunos miradores espectaculares).

¿Alguna sugerencia?

Gracias

Explanation:
I.e. the facilities provided for tourists. Shelters for pilgrims to spend the night in, signposting... etc.

I'm referring mainly to the "turismo jacobeo" cited, but the lack of facilities in general seems to be what they are getting at.

Explanation:
Not 100% sure, but given the context I think 'equipaciones' may refer to 'sites'.

agree  Charles Davis: Facilities rather than site, I think. The problem seems to be that they're ugly rather than lacking.
