When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: I like this one and reminds me of when I was young and lived near Weston Super Mare and we complained about the "Holidaymakers" or bloody grockles when we couldn't get through Cheddar during the summer

Thanks. We used to go to Weston too - called it Weston-Super-Mud. the tide was always out.

: Not only a different slant, one of the possibilities which provides a natural rendering of what this actually means. The term "tourisme" is repeated in the following part of the phrase so it leaves no room for doubt.

Discussion
The obvious clue here is the statement that this refers to the most common type of tourism and that rules out spas!!
http://www.globalspaandwellnesssummit.org/index.php/spa-indu...
Spa tourism is a core component of wellness tourism (41 percent of market), but non spa-related wellness tourism (whether “healthy hotels” and cruises; baths/springs; fitness, yoga or lifestyle retreats; travel to nature parks/preserves; organic/natural restaurant expenditures; and other “healthy” lodging and retail) represent 59 percent of the market.
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourisme_balnéaire
Translating these terms, I don’t want to exclude the hot springs and only focus on seaside tourisme. Could you please take into consideration “ tout autre endroit présentant des bains et aménagé pour l'accueil des vacanciers "? There are countries that only have hot springs.
