Dear Student,

Its not appropriate here.

Attraction means something that makes people want to go to a place or do a particular thing
Eg-
This building, once derided by critics, is now a major tourist attraction.
He's not exactly good-looking, but he has a certain attraction.
Life in London has so many attractions - nightclubs, good restaurants and so on.
Major tourist attractions are a soft target for pickpockets.
Disneyworld is one of Florida's major tourist attractions.

Keep learning with us.
All the Best.
