brochure
Contexto: brochure de una exhibición tecnológica que además contiene información turística de la ciudad sede del evento.
"El crecimiento extraordinario de Lima como ciudad y su fuerte crecimiento socio económico, la constituyen hoy en destino de alto valor y retorno para aquellos que eligen realizar negocios y reuniones a nivel nacional e internacional."
I'm having problems trying to find a nice rendering for the "retorno" part. I think they mean it in the sense of "profits".
Thank you for your help.

: The text seems to speak of "destination", rather than just business... if it were ROI, I'd probably say something like: ...zona / lugar de inversiones de alto rendimiento...

profitable
I can't see what's wrong with "profitable destination" when we're talking about business travellers.

returns
I don't see anything wrong with a literal translation. I would render this passage as something like "a destination which provides / offers significant value and returns".
