writing style - Is this use of en dash legitimate?

In the following sentence, how do you understand the en dash?




Our findings are very interesting from an international viewpoint – business tourism.




Is the use of the en dash appropriate here?




Spoiler



By using an en dash, the author of this sentence said he wanted to give just a hint or a summary of what the findings were without having to write too much.
