narcotourism

Narcotourism (noun) a compound of narco(tic) and tourism.

Narcotourism is the practice of travelling abroad from one's home or resident country with the express intention of procuring and using substances perhaps banned or prohibitively expense where one lives.

Not unlike reverse osmosis, i.e. one travels from a place of a low concenration of drugs to a place of a high concentration.
It is unlikely that the World Tourism Organization will ever endorse narcotourism.

Voluntourism

Heaven help me, yet another nasty new noun, the unholy marriage of "volunteer" and "tourism".

Voluntourism, an act carried out by "voluntourists", is when hoardes of - generally - the great unwashed backpacker brigade descend on a place to do have a jolly nice holiday - usually at precious little cost to themselves - and do the occasional bit of good work.

Looks good on one's CV as a gap year activity.
Voluntourist 1: Shall we go to Khao Lak to engage in a spot of voluntourism?
Voluntourist 2: No, tsunami voluntourism is old hat now. All the bars are closed and hardly anyone is living in the houses built, anyway.
Voluntourist 1: Good point. (pauses) Sierra Leone?
Vouluntourist 2: Are you insane?

Chavalrous

Antonym of chivalrous. The quality of being a chav.
I hold doors open for ladies and am therefore chivalrous. You, you "souped-up" Citroen Saxo driver, you wearer of faux Burberry, you drinker of crap cider, you denizen of a sink estate, you comon oaf, are chavalrous. Begone!

whorist

Whorist (noun), a bastardised compound of whore and tourist, and to be fair, not a great deal different to a sexpat.
Since the tsunami, whorists have ventured to places other than Phuket.
