Portuguese term or phrase: A pleno vapor
"A pleno vapor" seria "in full swing" neste contexto? Gostaria de receber suas sugestões.

Muito obrigada!


Mesmo antes da divulgação maciça recebida pela Nova Zelândia durante a cerimônia de entrega do Oscar ontem à noite, o ano turístico já estava **a pleno vapor** com um aumento no número de visitantes de 10,6% atingindo a marca de 244 mil turistas no mês de janeiro de 2004.

In Full Swing
Explanation:
Está correto, "in full swing" significa "em seu mais alto nível de atividade/no auge", assim como a expressão "a pleno vapor". Algumas alternativas com significado semelhante incluem "full speed" ou "steam ahead", mas "in full swing" é a opção mais recomendada para o texto em questão.
