leaflet
In a travel leaflet I have the following sentence:
A new product from the multi-award winnig XXX(name of a town) attractions of YYY (name of a forest) and KKK (name of a park) delivers an intimate insight into the tradition ...
I cannot undertsand whether YYY and KKK represent this new product in this sentence construction...
I understand it in the following way: YYY and KKK, the new product from the multi-award winnig XXX attractions deliver an intimate insight in the tradition...
Am I right?

It seems like you got it right, but it could really go either way. You can't really tell without commas. That would sure help.

IMHO its: \"It means that KKK and YYY (which are the award winning atractions of XXX, \"developed\" a new product, which delivers the insight\"

: I agree with your last comment, but as far as I can see, this is NOT the same as the interpretation Asker originally proposed...? // No problem ! That's why I sought to bring together all points in my answer...

See comment below...
As the sentence stands, without other punctuation, I can only interpret it thus:
Attractions Y and K (both in town X) have won awards, and have teamed together to produce a new joint product that gives this insight...
In other words, it is not Y and K themselves that are the new product, but rather some project they have both worked on together...
And I think it is they, rather than town X, that have won all these awards.
I think the name of the town is being used as an adjective to qualify 'attractions', just as we might say 'a London bus' --- "the Eiffel tower is a Paris attraction"
I have tried and tried, but really cannot interpret it any other way (including the way you sugegst), UNLESS there really is some punctuation missing --- a comma or 2 in the right places could make all the difference.

I should perhaps add that I completely acknowledge that my idea is exactly the same as Traviata\'s response, and Translatonator\'s second comment; I only wanted to try and chip in to clarify things --- I hope I haven\'t made it LESS clear than before ;-(

Attraction---
A new attraction presented by X, Y, and K.
With a travel leaflet this sounds right, unless it is a product(wine,art, ect.)
