In Maine, tourist season goes from somewhere around Memorial Day, right up past Labor Day. This is where the state's nickname "Vacation Land" comes from. It's to hot to stay down in their own state and there's no school, so they want to see the "quaint" state of Maine.
What happens is they come in, drive like idiots, raise up the gas prices, and invaide the beachs, parks, and all the little shops from York to Bangor, and some even farther North. They go to the Lobster Festival to eat the lobstahs at rediculously high prices and the other fairs. This is the time of year you see about 1 Maine licence plate for every 10 "outta state" ones. Where it takes at LEAST 20 minutes to get down Main Street (if it usually takes 5min) Tourists, Outta State-ahs, People From Away... and don't forget the rich summah people who buy their property down on the coast!
Yeah, we're nice to 'em most a tha time, but they sure are a pain in the ass!
But, once it's all over with, it gets cold, and a little dull, so we can drive normal again to find somethin else to do. Hell, sometimes we miss 'em! Well, maybe not...

Most Maine-ahs (Mainers - to be one, you MUST have been BORN in Maine) joke about it and say "Well, there's deer season, and duck season, so since they call it 'tourist season, why can't we shoot them too?'"

Get the Touristified mug.Similar to a convenience friend, an affection tourist is someone who circulates around friend groups, focussing on particular individuals for as long as that person gives them affection/attention.
Usually an affection tourist will latch on to those who invest in the tourists well-being and/or emotional state. It is rare for an affection tourist to invest back.
Sometimes an affection tourist will target someone new when they need something, like they break up with their partner and need some sympathy. In this situation, they will be super friendly to the target, becoming their temporary best friend until their affection needs are met and move on to the next target, usually quite suddenly.
Once the continued affection is depleted/starts to wane, or someone else offers attention, the affection tourist moves on and barely speaks to the previous person for some considerable time, not out of dislike for that person but just because they can't be bothered as that person has nothing to offer the tourist.

"James broke up with his boyfriend last week. I hadn't heard from him in months, but suddenly he's all about hanging out with me and doing stuff. It's great but I'm not holding out much hope of it lasting because he's just an affection tourist. I'm sure he'll find someone else to be best friends with soon."
