turismo
"El turismo estimula la demanda de productos pesqueros y marisqueros, que cuanto mejor se preparen conseguirán más valor. También incrementa la actividad del comercio y de los centros comerciales locales, y potencia el consumo de cualquier artesanía o recuerdo típico que se produzca. Así mismo puede aprovechar el patrimonio etnográfico e industrial existente, o los espacios agrarios y forestales para recorridos placenteros. Esta virtud del turismo, de adaptarse bien a otras actividades y usos del territorio, no implica que sea la ***vocación hegemónica*** para los ayuntamientos. De hecho, la especialización turística hegemónica sólo ocurre en muy pocos lugares"

Leading activity
Avoid a literal translation of this expression, that sounds extremely pompous to me. I think “leading activity”, what is actually meant here, suffices to reproduce correctly the meaning of the source.
Peer comment(s):

Charles Davis
: Fine, or the dominant/predominant activity, or the main/overriding priority. I slightly prefer "priority". But not hegemonic nor vocation, certainly (especially not hegemonic).

prime objective
Although not a literal translation, it neatly fits in the space left by the rather pompuos "vocación hegemónica", and IMHO does the job equally well.

And using "hegemónica" twice in such quick succession has to be poor style in Spanish as well as in English, ¿no?
