Spanish term
prodigar acciones
Spanish to English
Marketing
Tourism & Travel
From a discussion by a Spanish tourism authority about encouraging French tourists to come to Spain to play golf, saying that they are a good potential market because they consider quality more important than price:
"A la hora de elegir su destino, prima la calidad sobre el precio por lo que sería conveniente tener en cuenta este mercade y PRODIGAR ACCIONES dado que..."
I suppose it means they should heavily invest in attracting these visitors.
"A la hora de elegir su destino, prima la calidad sobre el precio por lo que sería conveniente tener en cuenta este mercade y PRODIGAR ACCIONES dado que..."

Con el contexto nuevo tal vez sea mejor: \"Increase our efforts\".

Right, como "prodigar atenciones", etc. a bit excessive.

enhance efforts
'actions' and 'measures' seem also possible. ¡Buena suerte, Daniel Burns!
